Biography
I am a theoretical physicist. Over the years, I have worked in many different areas, including string theory, quantum fields in curved space, atom interferometers, Bose-Einstein condensation, quantum information, and relativity. My main area of interest is the interplay between quantum physics and relativity, as well as quantum optics.
I am passionate about physics research and teaching. Sometimes these passions come together: check out my quantum optics lab simulation; instructions for this simulation can be found here.
