Where revolutionary science comes from

The progress studies community piqued my interest while I was working on energy policy and ecomodernism at the Breakthrough Institute. My interest has evolved into a fascination with how scientific discovery and technological revolution are often preceded by ambiguous anomalies. Learning how to identify and constructively engage those anomalies can stimulate groundbreaking scientific progress. I am currently pursuing my PhD in physics at the University of Cambridge, where I work on advanced materials for energy applications. I am also an affiliated researcher with the Quantum Energy Science group at MIT, where we work on accelerating nuclear reactions using quantum physics principles.

Spicy food around the world

I am an avid traveler (I have visited 19 countries so far), and I love to cook. I am an enthusiast of Southeast Asian and Ethiopian cuisine. I have an eclectic taste in music, ranging from Leonard Cohen to MF Doom, Stevie Wonder to Lauren Hill, and Raphael Saadiq to Simon and Garfunkel. I also enjoy hiking, trekking, and skiing.
