About Me

I am a postdoctoral fellow at the Simons Center for Computational Physical Chemistry at NYU.

My research primarily focuses on understanding the dynamics and phase behavior of glass-forming liquids. I also work on utilizing machine learning techniques for the study of rare events in chemical systems. I use theory, through statistical physics and field theories, and computer simulations, such as Monte Carlo, molecular dynamics, and rare-event sampling, to investigate these systems

I completed my Ph.D. at the Department of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering @ UC - Berkeley working with Prof. Kranthi Mandadapu. I attended Penn State for undergraduate studies and performed research under Prof. Ramakrishnan Rajagopalan (focusing on electrochemical capacitors) and Prof. Michael T. Lanagan (focusing on composite solid electrolytes).
