Picture of self

Hi! I'm a 3rd-year PhD student researching theoretical physics at UC Berkeley with Mike Zaletel. I'm broadly interested in condensed matter physics and quantum information science, especially exotic phases in two dimensions. I'm particularly interested in quantum dots and fractional quantum Hall physics, and in using tensor network methods to study them. Prior to Berkeley, I was an undergraduate at Princeton University where I was grateful to be advised by Jason Petta, Ali Yazdani, and Duncan Haldane. I also spent a couple summers at HRL.

If you’re flush with time, you should check out my astrophotography page, where I share photos I’ve taken of galaxies, nebulae, and our Solar System. Some took several nights to capture, but they should take considerably less time to look at.

Please feel free to reach me at amirsm@berkeley.edu, and view my resume.
