Eashan Iyer

Researcher and builder combining mathematical physics and computer science to translate quantitative analysis into data-driven, technical, and strategic solutions.

About

I'm a student at Brown University pursuing a dual degree in Mathematical Physics and Computer Science. My work spans theoretical physics research, algorithm development, and practical software engineering, with my goal being to translate complex quantitative concepts into real-world solutions.

From optimizing enterprise shipping algorithms that achieved 1,000× performance improvements to developing NLP pipelines for investment content analysis, I focus on building systems that deliver measurable impact. My approach combines rigorous mathematical thinking with hands-on engineering to solve complex problems across domains.

I've co-authored research in theoretical physics published in Physical Review A and Physical Review D, applying homological algebra and quantum mechanics to advance our understanding of quantum systems.
