Physics
I have always been deeply fascinated by emergent behavior in nature, where the sum of the parts displays interesting properties that the parts do not have on their own — properties that emerge only when they interact. My PhD research focused on the interplay of symmetry and interactions in quantum mechanical systems, leading to the emergence of new particles that cannot exist on their own. These emergent particles have exotic properties and applications such as topological quantum computing.
Themes of my research:
- Interplay of symmetry, interactions, and topology in physics
- Leveraging machine learning and reinforcement learning for physics problems
- Topological quantum computing
- Quantum machine learning
