About me:
I am a postdoctoral fellow at Argonne National Laboratory. I earned my Ph.D. from the University of Washington, Seattle, in 2021, where I studied the effects of pions on the dense matter equation of state, neutrino propagation, and axion production in neutron stars. Currently, my research focuses on nuclear theory and nuclear astrophysics. My work includes advancing the development of neural quantum states (NQS), a novel approach that leverages artificial neural networks as a general ansatz for quantum wavefunctions. This method enables variational Monte Carlo (VMC) to scale more efficiently with system size and achieve results comparable to, or better than, the more precise diffusion Monte Carlo techniques.
