I am mathematical quantum physicist. My mathematical interests include probability theory, ergodic theory, and spectral theory, and my physical interests include open quantum systems, quantum spin systems, and quantum information. I am in the sixth and final year of my PhD in the department of mathematics at Michigan State University where I am a student of Jeffrey Schenker, and my research is in mathematical quantum physics with a focus on disordered systems.
I will join the University of California, Davis in July 2026 as a math fellow, where my faculty mentor will be Bruno Nachtergaele.
