About
I am a Physics PhD student at Duke University in Prof. Gleb Finkelstein’s lab. I am interested in the novel excitations arising from superconductivity and the quantum Hall effect and am excited to explore these systems further with coherent acoustic phonons. In the lab, I enjoy nanofabrication, device simulation, and building electronic components. Before Duke, I earned my B.A. in Mathematics and Physics from Bowdoin College, where my research spanned experimental physics, materials data science, quiver representations, and machine learning.
Outside academics, I’m a former competitive Olympic weightlifter, winning gold at the 2023 USA Collegiate National Championships (67 kg) and multiple Ohio state titles. I hold a USAW Level One Coaching Certificate and have worked with several athletes, developing technical skills, improving mobility and explosiveness, writing programming, and most importantly motivating and encouraging.
