I am a Winter 2023 graduate of UCLA with a BS in Physics and an incoming mechanical engineering PhD student at UT Austin. During my time at UCLA, I was a member of the UCLA Marching and Symphonic Bands and a Brother of Kappa Kappa Psi. I conducted research with Prof. Aiello during Summer 2021 and in the Stupp Group at Northwestern University during Summer 2022. I worked in the lab of Prof. Aurnou during the 2022-2023 academic year and will be interning at Argonne National Lab during Summer 2023.
