About Me

My work spans areas from the asymptotic safety scenario to the canonical approach to quantum gravity. My aim is to understand the connection between geometry, gravity, and physical reference systems, and to seek observable imprints of quantum gravity in cosmology.

From 2019 to 2023 I did my doctoral studies at the University of Mainz in Germany. In December 2023 I obtained my PhD (summa cum laude), for which I was awarded the Wilhelm and Else Heraeus dissertation price for the year 2023/2024.

Since October 2023 I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Institute for Quantum Gravity at the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg in Germany. In February 2024 I was awarded the Simons Emmy Noether Visiting Postdoctoral Fellowship from Perimeter Institute. This Fellowship will allow me to regularly visit Perimeter throughout the next two years.

Promoting gender & diversity

I am very active in promoting women and diversity in science. During my doctoral studies I was an Ada Lovelace fellow, and have been a mentor in the Cybermentor program, which provides support for girls in STEM subjects. At the FAU Erlangen I am part of the Gender and Diversity group, and am coorganizing the DIPHER 2024 conference (Diversity in physics for the diversity of physics - Erlangen). It will take place in Erlangen from November 5th to 7th 2024. We seek to explore the intersection of gender, diversity, and cultural perspectives within the physics community. Registration is now open.
