I am a Postdoc at Argonne National Laboratory studying condensed
matter physics. I am jointly supervised by Yue Cao and Charudatta
Phatak. I did my Ph.D. in Nuh Gedik’s group at MIT.
I am broadly interested in studying novel phases of matter with
time-resolved optical, x-ray, and electron scattering probes.
