My research interest is in creating and probing out-of-equilibrium soft matter systems using light. To this end, I explore the interface of statistical optics and soft matter physics including topics in light scattering, nanophotonics, optical forces, Brownian motion and pattern formation.

I am an experimental physicist by training, but I am also deeply interested in theoretical and computational questions related to the above-mentioned topics.

Furthermore, I research and write about the history of science.

I blog and podcast on my research and learnings. Links to them https://backscattering.blog/
