Passive quantum reference frame transformations cannot create entanglement between physical systems
Clarifies what passive changes of quantum reference frame can—and cannot—do to entanglement between physical systems.
Realism and Ontology in Quantum Mechanics and String Theory
Examines realism and ontology across two domains in which theoretical structure and physical interpretation are unusually entangled.
Synthese · under review
Subsystems independence in gravitationally induced entanglement proposals
Studies the assumptions about subsystem independence that enter proposals for gravity-induced entanglement.
Physical Review D 114, 025015 (2026)
On the emergence of preferred structures in quantum theory
Investigates how physically preferred structures might arise within quantum theory rather than being assumed at the outset.
Journal of Mathematical Physics · under review
To be or not to be, but where?
Examines how gravity complicates gauge-invariant localisation and the usual identification of Hilbert-space factors with spatially separated systems, then develops a speculative connection to the measurement problem and spacetime emergence.

Modified Gravity Approaches to the Cosmological Constant Problem
An invited collaboration review mapping how modified-gravity frameworks address the cosmological constant problem, together with their assumptions and limitations.

O(d,d) covariant String Cosmology to all orders in α′
In this paper, we derive the fully α′-corrected, O(d,d)-invariant string cosmology equations with matter sources and show that adding corrections to the sourced or unsourced equations yields the exact same system—establishing a self-consistent framework for string cosmology valid to all orders in α′. We then uncover non-perturbative de Sitter solutions parametrized by the equation of state and dilatonic charge, demonstrating that both vacuum energy and winding modes can drive stable accelerated expansion in the string frame (and in some cases the Einstein frame), pointing toward viable α′-complete cosmologies.

Unified Superfluid Dark Sector
Develops a two-state dark-matter superfluid model in which late-time acceleration emerges dynamically, combining dark matter, dark energy, and MOND-like phenomenology while predicting large-scale-structure signatures.
