My research focuses on phenomena at fluid interfaces with the aim of contributing to the fields of fundamental fluid dynamics, active complex systems, and quantum foundations, the latter by developing classical analogues of quantum phenomena. My research occasionally touches on physics teaching, soft matter, and applied physics.
I am fascinated by the possibility of exploring fundamental questions in physics by working on table-top experiments. My research approach thus combines relatively low-cost experimental physics with theoretical modeling, and benefits from continuous collaboration with theorists.
