I completed my A.B. in physics at Princeton University in 2017, and subsequently enrolled in the Ph.D. program at the University of Colorado, Boulder and joined Professor Rey’s theory group.
I am interested in using AMO platforms to realize complex many-body phenomena and exotic phases of matter and to understand the growth of quantum entanglement in these systems. My current work focuses on the application and development of techniques based on phase space methods and matrix product states in order to study many-body localization and quantum thermalization in optical lattice systems with dipolar interactions.
The Physics Frontiers Centers (PFC) program supports university-based centers and institutes where the collective efforts of a larger group of individuals can enable transformational advances in the most promising research areas. The program is designed to foster major breakthroughs at the intellectual frontiers of physics by providing needed resources such as combinations of talents, skills, disciplines, and/or specialized infrastructure, not usually available to individual investigators or small groups, in an environment in which the collective efforts of the larger group can be shown to be seminal to promoting significant progress in the science and the education of students. PFCs also include creative, substantive activities aimed at enhancing education, broadening participation of traditionally underrepresented groups, and outreach to the scientific community and general public.
