About Me

I am a PhD student in the field of quantum machine learning, affiliated with the Optimization of Machine Learning Systems Group at the University of Basel, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Aurelien Lucchi and Prof. Dr. Jiři Černý. My research is funded by the SNSF and involves collaborative efforts with IBM Research Zürich.

In my free time I enjoy experimenting with the musical production of various genres and arrangements. Some of my creations are archived on my YouTube channel.

Research

Presently, I work on the probabilistic analysis of the loss landscape of general quantum neural networks. I am particularly interested in the eigenvalue distribution of the underlying Hessian matrix at random initialization of parameters, employing techniques from random matrix theory.
