Photonics and electromagnetics
My current research interests are in theoretical aspects of light propagation and in the use of methods from quantum mechanics to understand photonic phenomena. I am currently working on material and structural slow light, nonlinear effects in waveguides, geometric algebra for classical electrodynamics, and optical solitons.
Some relevant publications:
- Dimensional reduction for optical beams with thermal nonlocal nonlinearity, accepted in Frontiers of Physics (2026).

- Variational approach to multimode nonlinear optical fibers, Nanophotonics 14, 805-813 (2025).
Optical communications and simulations
I also like to work close to implementation details and numerical modelling. In particular, I perform realistic simulations for the evaluation of noise in high-throughput optical communications, including scenarios where classical channels coexist with QKD channels.

Ultracold quantum gases
During my Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics of Matter I worked on nonlinear physics in ultracold quantum gases. This included matter-wave solitons, Josephson oscillations, and quantum scattering theory for ultracold atomic collisions.

Superfluid effective theories
I am also interested in effective field-theory descriptions of low-energy superfluid dynamics and their relation with electromagnetic response.

Software
Over the years I collected repositories for scientific applications in Julia, Python, Rust, and other languages. They are available on my GitHub profile.
