I am a senior at MIT majoring in math and physics. I am interested in black holes, gravitational waves, and geometric aspects of general relativity.
In my free time, I love lifting, DJing, and watching UFC :)
My resume can be found here.
Formation of Extremal Black Holes in Einstein–Maxwell Charged Scalar Field System:
Mentored by Professor Christoph Kehle. I am studying the formation of
extremal (zero surface temperature) black holes in the spherically symmetric
Einstein–Maxwell charged scalar field system. The project aims to
extend recent work on collapse to extremal Reissner–Nordström
black holes by removing the coupling constant–mass requirement
$|\mathfrak{e}M| \gg 1$ and proving that extremal formation can occur even
for $|\mathfrak{e}M| \ll 1$.
