I’m currently a 4th year graduate student in the Department of Physics at Princeton University working in the field of theoretical biophysics, advised by Gautam Reddy. Together, we are working on a bottom-up approach to understanding in-context learning and its related phenomena in large language models. We hope to extend this theory to models of statistical learning and behavioral variability in biological organisms.

Prior to this, I also worked on experimental atomic, molecular and optical (AMO) physics in the lab of Waseem Bakr, building a platform to study ultracold polar molecules. There, we studied models of quantum magnetism and successfully demonstrated site-resolved dynamics in an optical lattice of ground state ultracold 23Na87Rb molecules. Following this, we also worked on realizing a collisional shielding mechanism using static electric fields (ongoing work).

Previously, I completed my undergraduate degree in Physics at the National University of Singapore, with my honors thesis advised by Travis Nicholson (now at Duke University).
