Studying applied physics at Cornell University as an undergraduate student and being involved in research on a plasma-based particle accelerator fostered my passion for physics. Currently I am in a PhD program in theoretical physics researching condensed matter in quantum dynamical systems and quantum chaos under Professor Victor Galitski at the University of Maryland College Park. My academic interests include quantum field theory (gauge theory), number theory, and dark matter models. My long-term goals are to continue a career in academia beyond my PhD degree, and to enter a professorship where I can teach and research in the areas of theoretical physics that drive my passion and where I can contribute to the advancement of the knowledge of humanity as a whole.
