I have completed my Ph.D. at the University of Zurich under the supervision of Alberto S. Cattaneo in July 2020.

My research is in mathematical physics where I am interested in geometric and algebraic methods of quantum field theory. In particular, my focus lies on topological quantum field theories, local gauge theories, algebraic topology, symplectic geometry, quantization procedures and higher structures in quantum field theory.

I was an organizer of the virtual conference Higher Structures in QFT and String Theory for junior researchers (see poster of the event below).
