I am a theoretical physicist studying collective properties of non-equilibrium and living systems.
I currently work as a Independent Postdoctoral Researcher at the Laboratoire Matière et Systèmes Complexes (MSC) of Université Paris Cité, with the Walter Benjamin Fellowship of DFG, in Paris, France.

Research
How do living systems self-organize and achieve robust collective behavior?
In my research I explore universal physical mechanisms by which local interactions drive emergent collective phenomena in living matter. For this, I use statistical field theory, agent-based simulations, and hydrodynamic approaches.
Self-organization through non-reciprocity
I study field-theoretical models of two-species systems where action–reaction symmetry is broken. This approach identifies non-equilibrium states of spatial organization that have no equilibrium counterpart and are robust to fluctuations.
Collective behavior of animal groups
From bird flocks to insect swarms, collective motion is achieved through long-range spatio-temporal correlations. I study active-matter models to reproduce quantitative features of these systems.
