Knowledge is my passion, and being a polymath is my aspiration. I'm currently a PhD student in physics at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), researching the geometric and topological aspects of Quantum Field Theory, and how they relate to Gravity.

I've completed a B.S. from North Carolina State University (NCSU) in both Physics and Applied Math, as well as completed an M.S. from UIC in both Physics and Pure Math.

Entrepreneurship has recently been gnawing at me, but I'm too worried to pursue money lest I get carried away from my first love(s?) of physics and math!

When I'm feeling arrogant, there's nothing like viewing a magnificent mountain, or being enthralled by a vast ocean, to humble me till I feel infinitesimally small. And when I'm feeling humbled to an infinitesimally small measure, The Urban Jungle is the forest I walk tall in.

Nature is gorgeous, and beauty is truth.
