I am a fifth-year PhD candidate in the department of mathematics at Michigan State University. I am a student of Professor Jeffrey Schenker. My research is in mathematical physics and disordered systems.
Research
I am interested in the effect of noise on mathematical models of physics, particularly on those that describe quantum mechanical phenomena of interest for applications in quantum information theory.
Currently, I work on disordered open quantum systems. I study the theory of ergodic quantum processes (aka, repeated interaction quantum systems, aka, quantum collision models). This formalism incorporates classical disorder into models of open quantum dynamics.
