About me

I'm a physicist interested in the mathematical aspects of scattering amplitudes in general, and of
string scattering amplitudes in particular.

I did my PhD at Uppsala University, under the supervision of Oliver Schlotterer.

I'm currently a member of Anna-Laura Sattelberger's research group as a scientist (read:postdoc)
at the Max Planck  Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences at Leipzig, in the context of the ERC
Synergy Grant UNIVERSE PLUS.

I have accepted a postdoc position in Matteo Parisi's research group in OIST, Okinawa, and am
expected to join in September 2026. I will not do another postdoc afterwards.

Some research interests

The evaluation of Feynman integrals as Laporta taught us requires huge amounts of linear algebra.
But one can also use tools of nonlinear algebra to "skip" steps of these computations, and even to
better understand the answers. How much more can we learn of Feynman integrals using nonlinear
algebra, and can we do it efficiently?
Auspiciously, the same mathematical tools that work for Feynman integrals also work for string amplitudes
and cosmological correlators.
Additionally, I'm interested in the intersection of Mathematics, Physics and Machine Learning.
