I am a theoretical Astrophysicist, and Eric and Wendy Schmidt AI in Science Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Chicago. My primary research interests are planet formation theory and protoplanetary disks, and how ML / AI techniques can be applied to solve astrophysical problems. I am also interested in orbital dynamics in binary systems, exoplanetary demographics and architectures, computational astrophysics, and general astrophysical magneto-hydrodynamics involving instabilities and turbulence, as well as related applications in meteorology and atmospheric physics.

Since September 2025, I am a Schmidt AI in Science Fellow at the University of Chicago, where I am affiliated with the Data Science Insitute and the Department of Astronomy & Astrophysics in the group of Diana Powell. I earned my PhD in Astrophysics at Yale University in 2025 under the mentorship of Greg Laughlin . Additionaly, I have ongoing collaborations with Malena Rice (Yale), Ruth Murray-Clay (UCSC), Min-Kai Lin (ASIAA), Rixin Li (Berkeley), J.J. Zanazzi (Berkeley), and Andrew Vanderburg (MIT). Prior to Yale, I went to Ruprecht Karl's University Heidelberg, Germany, where I graduated with a Bachelor's in 2017 and a Master's in 2019. I have worked at the Max-Planck Institute for Astronomy with Hubert Klahr from 2016-2020, and spent a year in 2018/19 at the Department for Astrophysics and Astronomy at UC Santa Cruz.
