I am a fifth-year PhD candidate in the department of mathematics at Michigan State University. I am a student of Professor Jeffrey Schenker. My research is in mathematical physics with a focus on disordered systems.

Research

I am interested in the effect of noise on mathematical models of physics, particularly on those that describe quantum mechanical phenomena of interest for applications in quantum information theory. 

Currently, I work on disordered open quantum systems, applying the theory of ergodic quantum processes (aka, repeated interaction quantum systems, aka, quantum collision models) to solve problems.
