I am currently a postdoc in Časlav Brukner's group at IQOQI, Vienna.

My research lies at the interface between quantum foundations, mathematical physics, and philosophy. Using the new concepts of quantum information theory, I try to shed light on some of the foundational problems of quantum mechanics, in particular: the quantum-to-classical transition, the measurement problem, the preferred-basis problem, the meaning of (entanglement) entropy in quantum mechanics. I also have a long-term interest in studying the nature of space and time for quantum matter from an informational perspective, in the quest of a quantum theory that does not rely on a pre-existing background spacetime.

More generally, my main motive is passion and exploration of the human mind. I seek to give fullness to the mathematics I use, to load them with meaning, be it physical, informational or philosophical.

I have recently given an 8-hours lecture Introduction to quantum foundations & quantum information at CPT, Marseille. This gave me the opportunity, not only to present the quantum formalism in a quite personal way, but also to include a variety of historical and philosophical remarks as well as some ideas related to quantum field theory and quantum gravity. More broadly, it allowed me to share my vision of physics.
