About me

I am from Lithuania, and I received my B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in physics from the Free University of Berlin.
I completed my Ph.D. at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen.
After a short postdoc, I joined Microsoft Quantum for two years but then returned to academia, starting as a Visiting Scholar at Harvard University.
In 2022, I joined the Niels Bohr Institute as an Assistant Professor and became an Associate Professor in 2023.
