Research Interests: I am currently working in theoretical high-energy physics, at the interface of quantum gravity, quantum information & mathematics. My research includes observable algebras and holography in de Sitter and anti-de Sitter spaces; the black hole information problem and Page curves beyond the weak-gravity limit; and consistency & positivity constraints on saddle-point approximations to gravitational path integrals. I am also working on exploiting quantum simulations of SYK models in order to probe and learn more about information scrambling, evaporation, and recovery.

I am a 3rd year Ph.D. student in physics, interested in the fundamental nature of neutrinos and dark matter and how they relate to the hardest questions posed to us by the universe. I received a B.S. in Astrophysics from Yale University in 2020 and have done research on neutrinoless double-beta decay at the University of North Carolina and protostellar evolution at the Center for Astrophysics at Harvard.

While not studying physics, I enjoy being in nature, playing chess, and cooking.
