Dutch mathematical physics postdoc in York, UK - working on mathematical foundations of quantum field theory and relativistic quantum information

Scientist by day, gay mess by night.

Our new paper is out on the ArXiv!

arxiv.org/abs/2508.20939

Using electromagnetism as example, we describe how boundaries in gauge theories give rise to edge modes and quantum reference frames for boundary/large gauge transformations.

Last week, a group of 75 young researchers from all over the world came to York for the EMS-IAMP Spring School: Symmetry and Measurement in Quantum Field Theory. It was an absolute pleasure to organize this event.

On a train back to York and suddenly there’s snow everywhere ☃️

Definitely need to plan my next visit to @kcl.ac.uk on a sunny day for an even better view

After having successfully defended my PhD thesis on semi-classical gravity at the university of Leipzig, I am looking forward to starting a postdoc at the University of York. Here I will work on measurement theory for quasi-local observables in quantum field theory and gravity.
