About me:

I am a condensed matter theorist working as a postdoctoral fellow in Victor Galitski’s group at the University of Maryland at College Park. Before coming to Maryland, I was a two-year postdoctoral fellow with Walter Metzner and Bernd Rosenow at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart, Germany. I completed my Masters and Ph.D. in theoretical condensed matter physics under the supervision of Prof. Yong Baek Kim at the University of Toronto. On this page, you will find information about my research and some of my personal interests outside of work. I hope you enjoy your visit!
