I am a theoretical physicist working at the interface of statistical physics, strongly correlated systems, and quantum information science. My research is centered on two complementary directions: far-from-equilibrium dynamics and strong correlations in quantum matter. I study nonequilibrium processes, thermalization, and the interplay between integrability and chaos, with applications to quantum computation and simulation. In parallel, I work on strongly correlated systems such as high-Tc superconductivity and the fractional quantum Hall effect, with emphasis on topology, disorder, and emergent phenomena. My approach is inherently multidisciplinary, combining analytical and numerical methods while building connections across physics, chemistry, and engineering, with a focus on problems that are both fundamental and relevant to emerging quantum technologies.
