I am a quantitative researcher at Jane Street Capital in New York.

Before that, I was an NSF postdoc in the Department of Mathematics at Stanford University from 2023-26. And before that, from 2018-23, I was a graduate student at New York University. I received my PhD in mathematics in May 2023, advised by Sylvia Serfaty. 

My short CV can be found here - please contact me via email for a long and up-to-date CV.

My research interests include probability and mathematical physics. I am particularly interested in the Coulomb gas and in lattice models from statistical physics.
