More specifically, I am working as a postdoctoral research associate at the Northeastern University as part of the String Vacuum Project.

Background

My academic interests and work focus on the topic of quantum gravity and high energy particle physics—particularly in the context of string theory and mathematical physics—as well as the general interplay among geometry, topology and physics.

After completing two diplomas in Physics and Mathematics, I finished my PhD in Mathematical Physics in early 2011 at the Max-Planck-Institute of Physics (MPP) and Ludwig-Maximilians-University (LMU) in Munich, Germany.

Aside from my research work I’ve a great interest in many other subjects, in particular areas of computer science, algorithms & A.I. and other topics like economic structures.
