Having moved to the UK from Sweden, I received my BSc in physics at Durham University in 2013. In 2014, I obtained a master’s degree in physics from the University of Cambridge. I stayed in Cambridge to complete a PhD in the foundations of quantum mechanics under the supervision of Professor Crispin Barnes. Graduating in 2018, I moved to Boston, USA, to do a post-doc at MIT. In 2019, I returned to Cambridge for a research fellowship at Girton College. In 2021, I was appointed to a permanent position within the Hitachi Cambridge Laboratory.

Currently, I am the Senior Researcher of quantum algorithms at the Hitachi Cambridge Laboratory and an Official Fellow of Girton College. I also lecture the course on quantum algorithms and metrology at the Physics Department.
