- I completed my PhD at the Institute of Photonics and Quantum Sciences (IPaQs) Heriot-Watt University (UK). After this I held postdoctoral appointments at Newcastle University (UK), OIST (Japan), Keio University (Japan) and the University of Queensland (Australia).
My research background has focused on theoretically modelling different nonlinear systems and their connection to ongoing phenomenology. This has mostly involved ensembles of ultracold matter - Bose-Einstein condensates which provide a versatile platform to understand topology and chirality in the quantum realm.
At the SKCM^2, I am involved in an interdisciplinary project looking at nematic vortices in spin-triplet superfluids, an enigmatic form of superfluidity which has been predicted to exist within the cores of neutron stars.
