With my head in the stars and my feet firmly on the ground.

When we look up at the night sky, we can see thousands, even millions, of stars. That sight captivated me from a very young age and has influenced both my interests and my education ever since.

I was drawn to physics because it offered a way to approach difficult questions from first principles, combining abstract thinking with quantitative reasoning. This curiosity eventually led me to research at the intersection of particle physics and astrophysics, exploring how the smallest building blocks of nature can help us understand the largest structures and phenomena in the universe.

Difficult problems are rarely solved from a single perspective.

Working in international collaborations has brought me together with people from different countries, institutions and disciplines. It has taught me to communicate technical ideas clearly, learn from different perspectives, and contribute to a common goal while bringing my own expertise to the table.

I have particularly enjoyed moving between detailed technical work and the bigger question of what we are actually trying to achieve.

My background in physics has shaped how I approach unfamiliar problems: with curiosity, structure, quantitative reasoning and a willingness to question my assumptions.

I now want to bring that way of working to new challenges beyond fundamental physics — whether they involve data, technology, strategy, or something I have not encountered before.

I may have started by looking up at the stars, but I have learned that the most interesting questions are not always found there.
