Biography

I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics. I received my Ph.D in theoretical physics from Cornell University, where I studied under Erich Mueller. Prior to that I got my undergraduate degree in Physics and Italian from Georgetown University (2014-2018), where I rowed on the lightweight crew team. Outside of physics, I enjoy cooking, traveling, hiking, rock climbing and playing tennis.

Research Description

My research interests lie at the intersection of theoretical AMO (atomic, molecular and optical) and condensed matter physics. Specifically, I like to think about the ways that ultracold atom experiments can contribute to unresolved questions in condensed matter physics. I’ve studied a range of problems during my Ph.D., broadly focusing on the equilibrium and dynamical properties of strongly-interacting and low-dimensional systems. I employ a combination of analytic and numerical techniques in my work, most notably tensor network methods.
