I am a postdoctoral researcher at CENTRA, Instituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisbon. My research explores the interplay between strong gravity, black hole physics, effective field theory, and modified theories of gravity.

I received my PhD in Physics from Queen Mary University of London in 2023, following a BSc and MSc in Physics from Instituto Superior Técnico. Before returning to Lisbon, I held postdoctoral positions at the University of Nottingham, the University of Southern Denmark, and Heidelberg University.

Here you can find my publications, current research, and recent updates. Please feel free to get in touch if you would like to discuss my work or explore potential collaborations.
