I am a theoretical physicist, with broad scientific interests. My current research involves cognitive science, neuroscience, and deep learning. In the past, I've worked on topics in quantum condensed matter and nonequilibrium statistical physics. 

I'm currently at the Institute for Advanced Study, in the Center for Systems Biology. 

In August 2024, I will be joining Emory University as an  Assistant Professor in Physics.
