About me:
I am an Assistant Professor of Physics at Temple University in Philadelphia, and a Visiting Scientist at the RIKEN BNL Research Center. Previously, I was a Junior Fellow at the Institute for Nuclear Theory (2023-2024) and I had a joint postdoctoral appointment at UCLA, UC Berkeley, and the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (2021-2023). I obtained my Ph.D. at Stony Brook University in 2021, and completed my undergraduate studies in Physics and Mathematics at Florida International University.
My research is focused on studying hadronic and nuclear matter in high-energy collisions. I primarily work in advancing the precision frontier of an effective field theory of Quantum Chromodynamics known as the Color Glass Condensate, which predicts a universal form of matter dominated by a highly dense and saturated system of gluons. Other research efforts include elucidating the relations between various formalisms of multiple scattering in nuclei, as well as using exclusive processes in photon-nucleus collisions to image nuclei at high energies.
