Master Thesis - University of Oxford
I am currently conducting my master’s thesis research at the University of Oxford, focusing on distributed quantum error correction in color codes. My work explores how quantum information can be efficiently protected in multi-QPU architectures and leverages the ZX-calculus to achieve this goal, contributing to the development of scalable, distributed quantum computing systems.
Professionals experiences
European Space Agency - Research Internship
I was an intern at the European Space Agency’s Advanced Concepts Team, where I developed and simulated protocols for distributed quantum sensing networks for space missions. This work aimed to enable ultra-precise measurements beyond the standard quantum limit, contributing to the development of future quantum-enhanced space technologies.

Research
Laboratory of Theoretical Physics of Nanosystems - Student Researcher
I worked in the Laboratory of Theoretical Physics of Nanosystems under Prof. Vincenzo Savona, where I devised techniques for estimating the Liouvillian gap in high-dimensional dissipative systems. This research focused on understanding relaxation dynamics and spectral properties in complex open quantum systems.
SMILS Group - Student Researcher
Within the SMILS group led by Prof. Nicolas Macris, I designed cat state-based quantum circuits that supported proofs of conjectures in quantum computing complexity. This project explored the intersection of quantum information theory and computational complexity through analytical and circuit-based approaches.
