I am a Research Assistant in Imperial College London, working in the Department of Mathematics.

My research is mainly focused on wave physics including metamaterials, Transformation Optics, homogenization techniques, resonant phenomena, light-matter interaction, scattering, diffraction, modal analysis, and topology optimization, for applications in Photonics and Mechanics.

I develop open-source numerical tools, mostly in Python, that are useful for my research.
