Research Interests


My research involves aspects of quantum information theory, theoretical nuclear physics, and lattice field theory. I’m interested in the following research question: how much of the physical world can we learn through simulating fundamental physics? To tackle this question, I employ both theoretical and computational methods that include quantum computing, tensor networks, and lattice theory to simulate and understand non-perturbative phenomena.
