I am a physicist working mainly at the intersection of mathematical physics and quantum many-body physics. In particular, recently I have been working on the description of mixed states with tensor networks (see arXiv:1907.03664 or 1903.05373 for the most recent works). I also worked on continuum limits of matrix product states (see arXiv:1708.00029 or arXiv:1708.00880). 

In parallel, I worked on a notion of universality in spin physics which is somewhat similar to the notion of universality in computer science (see here). For an introduction to some of these topics, see some of my talks. 

In the past, I worked with Prof. Hans Briegel on a proposal for artificial intelligence called Projective Simulation which has been pursued in many exciting directions (see here).
