Gravity, Quantum Fields and Information
Main Focus
I am interested in various aspects of quantum gravity, including the black hole information paradox. My current work concerns quantum extremal islands, which have played a central role in recent progress towards the paradox's resolution. Earlier, I have studied the entanglement structure of particle jets, with the aim of understanding soft/hard correlations in perturbative quantum gravity.
Curriculum Vitae
I received my B.Sc. degree in theoretical physics from Lund University in the spring of 2020. For my bachelor's thesis I worked on entanglement entropy in graviton jets. Starting autumn 2020 I am doing a one-year research project in the group "Gravity, Quantum Fields and Information" under the supervision of Dr. Michal P. Heller.
