I am a theoretical particle physicist studying the structure and behavior of matter at its most fundamental level. I am particularly interested in how matter behaves under extreme conditions, such as very high temperatures and densities. Such conditions occur, for example, in the early Universe, in collisions produced in particle accelerators, and in the interiors of neutron stars. In these environments, the properties of matter can differ dramatically from those familiar from everyday life.
My research is based on quantum field theory, the central theoretical framework of modern particle physics for describing the fundamental constituents of nature and their interactions. Using different quantum field theoretical models, I study the thermodynamic properties of matter and the phenomena that can emerge under extreme conditions. One important area of my research is quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the theory describing the strong interaction between quarks and gluons.
My work combines analytical theory, mathematical methods, and computational problem solving. In particular, I develop new numerical and automated methods for tackling complex calculations in quantum field theory. The aim is to develop general-purpose tools that can be applied to a broad range of problems in the physics of matter under extreme conditions.
I received my PhD from the University of Helsinki in 2025 and currently work as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Bern in Switzerland.
