My research interests include differential geometry, Lie theory and Poisson geometry. I am also deeply interested in applications thereof to physics.
In the academic year 2025/26, I am organizing the weekly Poisson seminar at KU Leuven together with Miquel Cueca. I am a part of the organizing committee of the Poisson School and Conference 2026, as well as the two workshops (on deformations and field theories) happening during the intensive period beforehand.
Short bio
From September 2025 on, I am a postdoctoral fellow at KU Leuven, working with Marco Zambon.
2021-2025: Ph.D. at CAMGSD, Instituto Superior Técnico. Topic: Fundamentals of Lie categories and Yang-Mills theory for multiplicative Ehresmann connections, under the supervision of Ioan Mărcuț and Pedro Resende.
2020-2021: Teaching assistant of mathematics at University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics.
2020: M.Sc. in Pure Mathematics at University of Ljubljana, FMF. Thesis: Gauge field theory, Yang–Mills–Higgs equations and spin structures on Lorentzian manifolds, supervised by Sašo Strle.
2017: B.Sc. in Physics at University of Ljubljana, FMF. Thesis: Wave function collapse upon measuring the number of photons in a cavity.
