I am a theoretical physicist. My doctoral training is in the field of high energy theory, quantum field theory, string theory, and quantum gravity with an emphasis on non-relativistic theories and aspects. I have also branched out into other areas including holography, condensed matter theory (particularly in the field of fractonic physics), information theory, and machine learning.
