Biography

I am a Postdoctoral Scholar at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics. I received my Ph.D in theoretical physics from Cornell University, where I studied under Erich Mueller. My undergraduate degree is in Physics and Italian from Georgetown University, 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 explores quantum matter and many-body dynamics in a range of physical settings. I am generally most interested in problems that are experimentally accessible in current or near-term quantum simulators, which includes a range of atomic, molecular and optical platforms such as ultracold atoms and quantum computers. I draw inspiration from condensed matter and quantum theory, and I have explored topics ranging from ground-state preparation and the equilibrium dynamics in strongly-correlated phases to the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of open and monitored quantum systems. I also work on the development of efficient classical architectures for numerical simulation of quantum systems, which has involved tensor networks, numerical path-integral techniques and machine learning methods.
