I am an inaugural Bhaumik Postdoctoral Fellow at University of California Los Angeles. Previously, I was a Quantum Initiative Postdoctoral Fellow at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory and Florida State University. I am a theoretical condensed matter physicist interested in understanding quantum materials.

I received my Ph.D. from The Ohio State University, where I worked with Prof. Brian Skinner. At the MagLab and FSU, I was supervised by Prof. Cyprian Lewandowski. At UCLA, my formal supervisor is Prof. Anshul Kogar (yes, an experimentalist!). I actively collaborate with theorists and experimentalists at UCLA and beyond.
