I am an Associate Professor (in the Cavendish Laboratory, Department of Physics at the University of Cambridge) working on the theory of soft materials, including mechanical metamaterials, active matter, topological states, and polymer physics.
I was an academic at the University of Bath from 2018 to 2023. Previously, I had worked in the James Franck Institute at the University of Chicago, the Lorentz Institute for Theoretical Physics at Leiden University, and the School of Physics at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I received my Ph.D. in 2011 from the University of Pennsylvania working with Tom Lubensky on descriptions of granular media, mechanical metamaterials, and colloids.
