Together with colleagues from Valcon and Accenture, I presented at the AI inspiration carousel for Liander Grote Werkpakketten on accelerating the energy transition with AI. I presented our RAG-based solution for an automotive client as a concrete example of AI delivering impact today.

On the 31st of January 2024 I defended my PhD thesis cum laude: "Breaking boundaries: Charge density waves, quantum measurement, and black holes in theoretical physics" — completing my doctorate in just three years. The thesis is available at UvA Dare.

I collaborated with Catarina Cunha and Megumi Arai to publish a children’s book about black holes, available at Amazon. "Alicia’s Discoveries: Black Hole" weaves the marvels of astrophysics with the wonders of our world into an enlightening journey for young readers.

We published a popular science article on the weirdness of quantum physics at Scientific American.

Our article "Thermalization by a synthetic horizon" was picked up by international media (Altmetric), leading to interviews with MDR Wissen, the Voice of America, IOP news, IFW News and Kidsweek.

A popular-science article about my research on the quantum measurement problem was published in Amsterdam Science. You can download it here, or read the full issue at amsterdamscience.org.

I received the Lorentz Graduation Award for Theoretical Physics, awarded annually by the Royal Holland Society of Sciences and Humanities, for my master’s thesis on the relation between quantum mechanics at the microscopic level and the measurements we make of it at much larger scales. Source: UvA
