I’m a postdoc working on theoretical physics in the School of Mathematics at the University of Edinburgh. I am interested in dualities and geometry in all aspects of physics. Currently, I’m mainly working on non-relativistic limits and expansions of string theory and gravity.

Previously, I was a postdoc in the High-Energy Physics and Cosmology group at Nordita, the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics in Stockholm, and the Theoretical Particle Physics and Cosmology group of the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen. Before that, I was a PhD student in the String Theory group at the University of Amsterdam, where I also wrote for their outreach website Quantum Universe (in Dutch).
