Welcome!

I'm Xavier, currently enrolled in the joint Elite Master Course in Theoretical and Mathematical Physics at LMU and TUM. I previously obtained a MASt in Applied Mathematics (Part III of the Mathematical Tripos) from the University of Cambridge and a Bachelor in Physics from EPFL.

This is my personal webpage. You'll find a description of my current and recent academic activities, as well as various resources which I've found to be worth looking at in my journey so far. I've compiled these thinking other like-minded students might find them useful - any suggestions welcome! For a short bio, you can have a look at my CV.

I steer my career towards the study of quantum gravity, with a focus on string theory and flat space holography, cf. my research page for more details. I am also interested in applying tools from theoretical physics to the field of theoretical neuroscience, even though I'm only getting started as of Jan. 2024.

Besides science, I also have a keen interest for poetry, foreign languages and cultures, photography, sport, philosophy and sustainable travel. I keep track of some of these here.

I'm always happy to discuss, so feel free to shoot me an email :)
