Welcome to my website. I'm in the class of 2011 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and I am double majoring in course VIII (physics) and course XVIII (mathematics). My primary interests these days are in high-energy theory - both as a subject of intrinsic interest and also as a tool for studying problems in statistical physics and condensed matter theory. My MIT username is kdiab. At MIT, student e-mail addresses are formed by appending @mit.edu to usernames. I also have a gmail account, and my gmail username is iostream.h. I live at Random Hall, the coolest dorm at MIT.

I attended high school at the Hawken School, a small private school in my hometown, Cleveland, Ohio. While a student at Hawken, I took courses in physics and chemistry at Case Western Reserve University. In my free time, I play a lot of contract bridge with my awesome partner/girlfriend Lauren McGough, solve difficult puzzles in the tradition of the MIT mystery hunt, and spend too much time on reddit, Facebook, and AIM.
