About me

I obtained my PhD in applied mathematics at Brown University in 2025 under the supervision of Kavita Ramanan. Starting July 1, 2025, I will be a Junior Fellow of the Simons Society of Fellows hosted by Dan Lacker at Columbia University. Click here for a CV.

My research interests lie at the intersection of probability theory and mathematical physics. In my thesis, I studied propagation of chaos and the long-time behavior of sparsely interacting particle systems. A short general audience talk about my research can be found here.
