About

I am a Royal Society University Research Fellow at the Photonics & Nanotechnology Group at King's College London. I am a theoretical quantum physicist working on strong-field and ultrafast physics, and I study tunnel ionization and high-harmonic generation through analytical approaches. I'm mostly active over in Physics SE.
