Welcome to my academic site! See also: my personal site, my UO Blog.

I'm a Physics PhD candidate/Graduate Student in the Institute for Fundamental Science (IFS) at the University of Oregon working with Graham Kribs.

I previously held a Research Assistant position at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL/LBL) during 2020-2022, after finishing my undergraduate at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in 2019.

This site is under-construction at the moment, so a lot of content is missing and links may not terminate correctly - be sure to check back later :)
