I am a condensed matter theorist interested primarily in non-equilibrium quantum dynamics, particularly quantum quenches of lattice models. I am also interested in topologically ordered systems, quantum computation and machine learning. My current research focus is on using quantum computers and tools from machine learning to study many-body quantum physics.
I am an Associate Professor at the University of Nottingham and was recently awarded an ERC Starting Grant. Please find more details of my research interests here, and my publications can be found here, on the arXiv, and on my Google Scholar page.
In 2020 I was awarded a research fellowship from the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851. Previously I was at the Technische Universität München in the group of Frank Pollmann. Before this I was a research associate at Imperial College London with Prof. Myungshik Kim and Dr. Johannes Knolle. This position was part of a collobaration between Imperial College and Samsung to simulate quantum systems with the IBM quantum computers. I completed my PhD entitled “Disorder-free Localization” at the University of Cambridge with Dr. Dmitry Kovrizhin. Before that I studied for a Masters in Physics at Cambridge, and did my undergraduate studies at the University of Leeds.
