I am a Miller Postdoctoral Fellow at UC Berkeley, interested in a broad range of problems in statistical physics, non-equilibrium dynamics, and the physics of learning.
Update: In July 2027, I will be staying on at Berkeley as an assistant professor. Students and postdocs interested in working with me are encouraged to reach out over email.
