I am a Mathematics PhD student at the Courant Institute, New York University, where I am advised by Mike O'Neil. My research involves the design and implementation of fast algorithms for the numerical solution of equations arising from physics contexts. Currently I am working on a fast PDE solver for the computation of Taylor states (a.k.a. magnetic fields that are Beltrami fields) in nonaxisymmetric toroidal geometries. This is useful for the computation of magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium, a computation that is frequently carried out when optimizing the designs of fusion devices called stellarators. I am also developing a fast algorithm for the computation of high-order imaginary-time Feynman diagrams in quantum many-body physics.
I am also developing the triqs_xca code, in collaboration with Jason Kaye, Zhen Huang, Hugo U.R. Strand, and Denis Gole$zcaron;. This is an implementation of a fast algorithm for computing imaginary-time Feynman diagrams, which is part of some techniques for modeling strongly-correlated many-body quantum systems. Part of this work was done when I was a summer intern at the Center for Computational Mathematics at the Flatiron Insitute, Simons Foundation, where I was mentored by Jason, during the summer of 2025.
I obtained a B.S. in engineering physics, with minors in mathematics, electrical and computer engineering, and music, from Cornell University. There I worked in David Bindel's group on alpha particle transport in stellarators. I have also spent summers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, working with Madison Martin and Joe Nilsen on modelling spectroscopy in iron opacity experiments.
I also run, climb, play the piano, and read.
