I am a second-year Ph.D. student in Prof. Marcel Franz’s research group. I am a theorist interested in topological and strongly-correlated phases of matter. My current projects include strain-induced effects in graphene and Weyl/Dirac semimetals and physical realizations of holographic models such as the SYK model. In the past, I have done work on classical and quantum spin liquids emerging in the context of frustrated magnetism. When not pondering a physics problem, I enjoy playing the violin, hiking and skiing.
