My research concerns early universe cosmology, cosmological
perturbation theory, and scalar field dynamics. In my work, I like to
combine analytical methods with numerical computations.
I am particularly interested in the interplay between quantum and
classical physics in the early universe. Recently, I have focused on
the formation of primordial black holes from inflationary quantum
perturbations using the tools of both linear perturbation theory and
stochastic inflation.
On the model building side, I have worked on a variety of topics from
Higgs inflation to reheating, quintessence, and Palatini gravity.
