Undermind AI

California, USA

I’m an MIT theoretical physics PhD working at the AI startup Undermind, developing AI agent systems for science.

I was formerly postdoctoral scholar at QMAP, UC Davis. My former academic research was on classical and quantum gravity, leveraging connections between gravity, diferential geometry, and quantum information theory through the holographic prinicple and AdS/CFT.
