Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.- Bertrand Russell -

I am a theoretical physicist and computer scientist.

I am interested in the foundations of physics, a broad subject which deals with fundamental questions in fields ranging from cosmology, gravitation, and quantum physics to statistical mechanics, complexity theory, and AI. I am an advocate for interdisciplinarity, as I believe it the only viable approach for a true holistic understanding of the universe and its purpose. My research has so far mostly focused on understanding the nature of gravity: I have worked on the minimal gravitational model of dark matter, gravitational atoms, graviton-photon oscillations and graviton detection.

I have worked as Lead Data Scientist for companies like Deloitte, Pfizer, and Zeta. My software projects can be found here or at my github page.

Infeasibility of Graviton Detection as Cosmic CensorshipWe construct an explicit model of inhomogeneous gravitational collapse leading to a naked singularity in which gravitational absorption is both efficient and observable. We propose that the infeasibility of graviton detection is simply a consequence of Nature's conspiracy to hide regions of strong curvature behind event horizons.
