Darius grew up in Nanjing, China and did his undergrad at Stanford, where he majored in Physics and English literature. Now, he is a fourth year Physics PhD student at MIT studying condensed matter theory. Though primarily interested in strongly interacting metals, he sometimes dabbles in quantum dynamics and quantum information to make more friends. When he is procrastinating on physics, he likes to boulder, kayak, go on hiking trips, read biology textbooks with his wife and memorize lines from bojack horseman.
