BIO
I am a condensed matter theorist specializing in strongly correlated many-body systems and the statistical mechanics of disordered systems. My research seeks to understand how collective behavior emerges from the interplay between interactions, disorder, and geometry. I earned my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Physics from Northeastern University in 2011, followed by a Ph.D. in Physics from Yale University in 2020, where I focused on theoretical aspects of superfluid Fermi gases. I then held a postdoctoral position at the Institute for Condensed Matter Theory (ICMT) at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign. I joined the University of Louisville faculty in the spring of 2025.
