I obtained my PhD at Heriot-Watt University Edinburgh, Scotland in 2022 under the supervision of Prof. Patrik Ohberg, with a thesis titled “General Relativity analogues in nonlinear optical systems”. My PhD studies were supported with a full Scholarship by EPSRC, SUPA, The Scottish Doctoral Training Centre for Condensed Matter Physics. I conducted experimental and numerical investigations in nonlinear optics and analogues of general relativity, including: Newton-Schrödinger Equation, and Superradiance. I gained expertise in experimental optical techniques, including: interferometry, digital holography, engineering of light beams with Orbital Angular Momentum, propagation of light beams in complex media. From 2018 to 2021, I was also a visiting Post Graduate Researcher at the University of Glasgow in Prof. Daniele Faccio’s Extreme Light Group, where I performed intense experimental and numerical works in the same research areas listed above. From 2017 to 2022, I was a Public Engagement (Outreach) Coordinator and a Teaching Assistant at Heriot-Watt University. Some of the courses I taught include: “Quantum theory and Spectroscopy" (2017-2020), "MSc Photonics Experimental Lab" (2017-2018), "Investigative Techniques Experimental Lab" (2018-2019), "Waves and Matter" (2019-2020, 2021-2022). In February 2023, I joined the University of Nottingham as a Postdoctoral Research Associate/Fellow in Prof. Silke Weinfurtner’s Gravity Laboratory group, to carry out experimental optical studies of quantum simulators for the physics of black holes and the early Universe.
