“Behind it all is surely an idea so simple, so beautiful, that when we grasp it — in a decade, a century, or a millennium — we will all say to each other, how could it have been otherwise?”

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the quantum foundations and quantum information group of Prof. Časlav Brukner at the University of Vienna and IQOQI Vienna. In October 2025, I will begin a Junior Research Fellowship at the Institute for Theoretical Studies at ETH Zürich. My research focuses on quantum reference frames, indefinite causal structures, the phenomenology of quantum gravity, and the interplay between symmetries and subsystems.
I earned my BSc in Physics from ETH Zürich in 2018. For my Master’s thesis, Quantum Reference Frames: A Relational Approach to Quantum Theory, I was a Visiting Graduate Fellow at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, under the joint supervision of Dr. Thomas Galley (PI) and Prof. Renato Renner (ETH). I completed my MSc in Physics with distinction from ETH Zürich in September 2020 and obtained my PhD in Physics from the University of Vienna in April 2025.
I am passionate about fostering an inclusive and collaborative research environment and believe that it is key for both scientific discovery and personal growth. This commitment is reflected in my current roles as chair of the Basic Research Community for Physics and as Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Officer on the board of the International Society for Relativistic Quantum Information.
Alongside my research, I am committed to teaching and outreach. I aim to create a supportive academic environment for students and to engage with broader audiences to promote the significance of fundamental research in physics.
