Research interests
I study the physics of light, matter, and their mutual interactions with the aim of benefiting society. My expertise is broad, with emphasis towards light-matter interactions, quantum electrodynamics, atomic/molecular physics, and metrology, but it also includes high-energy physics and gravity.
