About me:
I am a Research Assistant Professor at the INT. Previously, I had a joint postdoctoral appointment at UCLA and the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. I obtained my Ph.D. at Stony Brook University in 2021. My primary research interest is understanding hadronic and nuclear matter via high-energy scattering. I employ novel perturbative and semi-classical methods in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), with emphasis on high-energy effective field theories to derive and compute cross-sections for many processes that can be studied in existing and future collider facilities. I am fascinated by the possibility of the discovery and characterization of a new regime of matter dominated by a highly occupied and saturated system of gluons.
