Research Projects & Interests

My research lies at the active intersection of theoretical condensed matter physics, theoretical machine learning, and quantum information. I specialize in non-equilibrium quantum transport theory, high-dimensional probability for neural scaling laws, symbolic quantum mechanics, and machine learning methods for physical systems.

Theoretical Machine Learning & Scaling Laws

McGill Department of Mathematics and Statistics • Supervised by Prof. Elliot Paquette & Prof. Courtney Paquette

Conducting research in theoretical machine learning focusing on Power Law Random Feature models. We leverage toolkits from random matrix theory on Volterra equations, high-dimensional probability, and optimization theory to mathematically derive precise scaling laws for Large Language Models (LLMs).

A central question of our work is investigating how anisotropy builds up within the model during training and how this anisotropic feature space directly influences learning dynamics and generalization bounds.

Quantum Transport & Computational Condensed Matter Physics

McGill Physics Department • Supervised by Prof. Hong Guo

My doctoral research centers on theoretical and computational physics with the Keldysh non-equilibrium Green function (NEGF) formalism. Key thrusts include:

  • CZT Semiconductor Carrier Transport: Investigating structural, electronic, and carrier transport properties of Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) semiconductors for next-generation X-ray detector technology in active collaboration with Prof. Oussama Moutanabbir (Polytechnique Montréal), Analogic Canada, and 5N Plus Inc.
  • THz-Pump Probe Dynamics: Formulating non-linear response time-dependent quantum transport theory far from equilibrium by coupling equilibrium frozen SCBA phonons to simulate ultra-fast THz-pump probe experiments.
  • Symbolic Quantum Package (SymGF): Developing and extending our in-house package that symbolically expands quantum transport equations from the Bogoliubov–Born–Green–Kirkwood–Yvon (BBGKY) hierarchy using the Heisenberg equation of motion. We combine LLM symbolic reasoning to simplify self-energy series for transport in strongly correlated qubit arrays.
  • High-Performance Computing (HPC): Building specialized HPC numerical algorithms to compute Fermi-Dirac distribution functions for large gapless materials at ultra-low temperatures.

Machine Learning for Quantum Optics & Fluids of Light

Kastler Brossel Laboratory (Sorbonne Université, ENS, Collège de France) • Supervised by Prof. Quentin Glorieux

Conducted research with the Quantum Fluid of Light Group in Paris. Designed and trained deep machine learning architectures using theoretical simulations of atomic optical setups. Successfully solved the inverse problem to recover experimental parameters from single-shot optical measurements of the non-linear Schrödinger equation in hot atomic vapors.

Topological Protection & Decoherence Dynamics in Qubits

McGill Physics Department (Quantum Nano Electronics Laboratory - QNEL) • Supervised by Prof. Michael Hilke

Designed a novel control protocol to investigate decoherence dynamics of qubits coupled to a 1D Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) topological chain. Demonstrated that topological edge states can robustly protect qubit coherence even under significant environmental coupling.
