I am a Postdoc in physics. I study physical properties of familiar materials and systems through simple models. My research has addressed systems such as jammed materials, periodic tangles, and phase-separating mixtures. I use a combination of theoretical modeling, numerical calculations, and experimental approaches.
Recently, I have been focusing on systems where the number of degrees of freedom and constraints are finely balanced, where small structural changes can lead to distinct dynamical or mechanical responses.
I am currently staying at the Mahadevan group @Harvard.
