United States
Theoretical physics student graduating from Caltech with honors. Strong background in mathematics, multiple years of coursework in computer science, with applications of both to published string theory research. Quick and independent learner with quantitative skills and a creative problem-solving mindset.
Guided research in matrix string theory, involving multiple semesters of independent readings in differential geometry, QFT, effective field theory, and string theory. Research involved calculations of an effective potential for the BMN Matrix theory using the background field method and computation of entanglement entropy, along with supergravity calculations.
Grader for introductory and advanced physics courses including electromagnetism, mechanics, statistical mechanics, and quantum mechanics.
