I am a mathematical and theoretical physicist, working as a senior research associate (associate professor) at the Ruđer Bošković Institute in Zagreb, Croatia. Currently I serve as the spokesperson of the Laboratory for Field Theory and Mathematical Physics and I also teach at the doctoral studies programme of the Faculty of Science of the University of Zagreb.

I am the Principal Investigator of the Croatian Science Foundation research project HigSSinGG - Higher Structures and Symmetries in Gauge and Gravity theories, which will start in December 2024. Stay tuned for postdoc and PhD positions linked to the project.

[Since 1st of October 2024, I am on Sabbatical leave to the University of Wroclaw, supported by an Ulam scholarship. The scholarship is named after the eminent Polish mathematician Stanislaw Ulam, inventor of the Monte Carlo computational algorithms, co-inventor of cellular automata and the Teller-Ulam design, and many more exciting concepts and methods in mathematics, physics and computer science.]

I received my PhD from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece in 2010, supported by a fellowship from the National Centre for Scientific Research "Demokritos". Later, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the universities of Bonn (Prof. Nilles group), Hannover (Prof. Lechtenfeld group) and Groningen (Prof. Bergshoeff group).

My research interests concentrate on Theoretical High Energy Physics and Mathematical Physics, more particularly gauge field theories and generalised symmetries, classical and quantum gravity, string theory, dualities and generalizations of geometry. I am also interested in various problems in particle physics, cosmology and condensed matter physics. More details here.
