Hello!

I am a PhD student studying biological-flavoured fluid mechanics at the University of Cambridge, supervised by professors Eric Lauga and Duncan Hewitt. I graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2026, where I studied physics and applied mathematics. In addition to my current research interests, over the last few years, I have also worked in celestial mechanics, continuum solid mechanics, and quantum transport problems.

This website is a bit of everything. I have found it to be a good place to dump my research experiences, publications, CV, and notes. Although mostly academic in scope, I have included some of my other interests because I do, after all, spend a good bit of brain power thinking of non-physics-y things. Feel free to click around and explore, although be warned that this entire website is still somewhat under construction, as I tend to update it infrequently on my rather limited free time. I am also by no means an expert at website-building, so certain pages may look a bit rough, although I think it's slowly getting better!

For what it's worth, generative artificial intelligence was not used in any part of the creation of this website or the content contained within.

Enjoy!
