am a postdoctoral fellow in the group of Prof. Yong Baek Kim at the University of Toronto.

My current interests include multi-critical phenomena that arise in Rybderg atom arrays, quantum-geometric  aspects of non-linear optical responses, and applications of quantum algorithms and quantum simulators for studying strongly-correlated phases. My previous work focused on the role that crystal symmetry and lattice defects play in topological semimetals and on methods for engineering topological phases.
