I am a PhD student at the University of Queensland, affiliated with EQUS. I study theoretical physics, with interests in relativistic quantum mechanics, quantum field theory and the foundations of physics.

Currently, I am studying problems with localisation in the atom-light interaction and Unruh-DeWitt detector model. More specifically, I am looking at the physical consequences of the localisation scheme employed by modelling the atom-detector’s quantised centre of mass, corresponding to different definitions of the associated position operator.

Additionally, I am also currently investigating the properties of a novel class of minimum uncertainty states, which minimise the uncertainty between the position-velocity quadratures rather than the usual position-momentum quadratures of phase space.
