I study quantum correlations and their applications to communication and certification. My work connects foundational questions, such as the ultimate limits of quantum correlations, with practical ones: how can we verify that quantum devices behave correctly under realistic conditions?

Quantum networks promise secure communication and distributed quantum information processing, but making them work requires understanding correlations in complex scenarios involving entanglement, communication, and imperfect devices. I develop theoretical tools to characterize these correlations, study the structure of entangled quantum measurements, and design robust certification protocols for quantum systems.

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at Université de Genève in the group of Nicolas Gisin. I completed my PhD at Université libre de Bruxelles under the supervision of Stefano Pironio.

This site gives a short overview of my publications, selected talks, and CV.
