Current Research and Scholarly Interests My research focuses on general aspects of theoretical physics: spontaneous breaking of spacetime symmetries, effective field theories, and applications in condensed matter and astrophysics/cosmology. Most recently, I have been preoccupied with the study of dissipative dynamics in astrophysical systems.

Current Research and Scholarly Interests Crossovers (COs) at meiosis are necessary for a balanced first meiotic division. The number of crossovers, per cell and per chromosome, is tightly regulated, within a narrow range of variation. COs are initiated by double strand-breaks (DSBs) that are then processed either through the ZMM pathway or the MUS81 pathway. But DSBs greatly outnumbers COs in a large set of species. This suggests a conserved mechanism which would limit the number of COs formed despite an excess of CO intermediates.

Bio I am a postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Alistair Boettiger in the Department of Developmental Biology. I have always been interested in understanding regulatory mechanisms that lead to tissue or cell type specific gene expression. During my PhD in the lab of Galit Lahav at Harvard Medical School, I studied how temporal dynamics of a tumor suppressor transcription factor, p53 regulate the dynamics of gene expression in response to DNA damage. In the Boettiger lab, I'm interested how specificity between enhancer-promoter interactions is achieved using super-resolution microscopy.
