I am passionate about physics, the history of science, and the philosophy of science. I hold a master’s degree in physics from the State University of New York at Albany, where I am currently pursuing a PhD in physics under the supervision of Professor Rongwei Yang in the Department of Mathematics. My research focuses on quantum measurements, quantum tensor product structures (how subsystems are organised in quantum systems), and the epistemic and linguistic implications of the Copenhagen interpretations.

Some of the questions that keep me awake — and occasionally raise the hairs on my arms — include: Why is the universe accelerating? What enables life and cognition? What are the fundamental building blocks of existence — the starting points from which everything else can be reasoned? What are the limits of the machines we create? And, ultimately, what truly matters in life?

Professionally, I inhabit two roles: educator and researcher. As an educator, I work collaboratively with students, offering lectures, feedback, encouragement, and (I hope) a measure of inspiration. I guide them through the recognised physics curriculum — the rules scientists currently trust to describe the observable universe. As a researcher, I pursue exploratory projects driven largely by curiosity.

Outside of teaching and research, I enjoy cosy evening gatherings with friends and relatives, accompanied by white wine and food. I also enjoy writing fiction. When I feel unproductive at my desk, I like to step outside and do some manual work in the garden.
