My research expertise includes statistical and computational physics with a focus on the numerical analysis of disordered systems. These include structural and spin glasses, intrinsically disordered proteins and artificial neural networks. The disorder in these systems often leads to exceptionally slow dynamics, necessitating the use of optimized Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods and extensive parallelization techniques. My work aims to improve simulation efficiency and provide deeper insights into complex physical phenomena and interpretability of modern machine learning techniques.
