I am currently a postdoc at Harvard, with a Junior Fellowship from the Harvard Society of Fellows. In 2025, I will be moving to Cornell University as an Assistant Professor in the School of Applied and Engineering Physics. Before that, I completed my PhD in the Physics department at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2016-2022), as a Computational Science Graduate Fellow of the US Department of Energy (2016-2020) and a Dean’s Fellow of the MIT School of Science (2020-2022). For my thesis work, I was awarded the Andrew M. Lockett III Memorial Prize. My primary thesis supervisor was Prof. Marin Soljacic, but I have also worked closely with Prof. John Joannopoulos (MIT) and Prof. Ido Kaminer (Technion), as well as many others. In 2016, I received my Bachelor’s degree in Physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2012-2016). For my bachelor’s thesis, I received the LeRoy Apker Award of the American Physical Society (citation: “for important advances in the field of photonics and exceptional leadership of the Society of Physics Students”). Prior to all that, I attended Stuyvesant High School in New York City, where I was born and raised.
