Current Research

I’m interested in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics and how to apply it. I currently work on optimal stochastic thermodynamics and thermodynamic geometry, and am interested in topics like the thermodynamics of computation, information engines, and the application of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics to theoretical neuroscience. Philosophy is another big interest of mine outside of physics!

Bio

I’m originally from Seattle, and completed my undergraduate degrees in physics and philosophy as part of the University of Washington’s interdisciplinary honors program. Before coming to Berkeley I moved to the UK to complete a masters degree in philosophy, as a Clarendon scholar at the University of Oxford.
