> [!TIP] 📍 How I got here
>
> My [current research](https://saforem2.github.io/l2hmc-qcd) focuses on
> using deep generative modeling to help build better sampling
> algorithms in lattice gauge theory. In particular, I’m interested in
> building gauge equivariant neural network architectures and using
> inductive priors to incorporate physical symmetries into machine
> learning models.
>
> <br />
>
> I received my PhD in Physics from the University of Iowa in 2019 and
> my thesis was on [Learning Better Physics: A Machine Learning Approach
> to Lattice Gauge
> Theory](https://iro.uiowa.edu/esploro/outputs/doctoral/Learning-better-physics-a-machine-learning/9983776792002771).
>
> <br />
>
> Prior to this, I completed two bachelors degrees (Engineering Physics
> and Applied Mathematics, 2015) at The University of Illinois at
> Urbana-Champaign. My undergraduate dissertation was titled [Energy
> Storage in Quantum
> Resonators](https://aip.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/1.5009698) and was
> supervised by Professor [Alfred
> Hübler](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_H%C3%BCbler) within the
> Center for Complex Systems Research at UIUC.
>
> This work ultimately resulted in a
