I am a PhD candidate in the Physics Department at Boston University. My research focuses on understanding the emergent phenomena that arise when quantum mechanics meets complex many-body systems.

My work sits at the intersection of quantum spin liquids, topological phases of matter, and exotic electromagnetic responses. I focus on how these ideas can be detected experimentally, especially how emergent photons appear within frustrated magnetic materials like quantum spin ice.

I am actively seeking postdoctoral positions in theoretical condensed matter physics, with particular interest in groups working on quantum spin liquids and driven topological systems.
