About
I am Belgian/Canadian citizen. I am the current Jocelyn Bell Burnell fellow at the Perimeter Institute (Canada). I work primarily with the ``quantum gravity'' group and in the ``quantum fields and strings'' group. From 2018 to 2021 I was a postdoctoral researcher and Lise Meitner fellow in the ``Institute of Theoretical Physics'' at Technical University of Vienna (Austria). I obtained my PhD in the ``Theoretical and Mathematical Physics'' group at Université Libre de Bruxelles (Belgium) in June 2018.

Research Interest
My research focuses on symmetries in gauge theories, in particular for gravitational spacetimes with boundaries. In particular I consider leaky boundaries that allow flux to pass through. For instance this flux could be made of gravitons. This has a wide range of applications from (flat) holographic scenarios to the identification of the symmetry principle under which quantum gravity should be organized.
