I am currently a postdoc in Časlav Brukner's group at the University of Vienna and 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, 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.
