OVERVIEW
Born and raised in Methuen Massachusetts, I developed an interest in the natural world early on in my life. I was fascinated by science and desired to pursue these interests. I attended Boston University as an undergraduate in 2015. After graduating in 2019, I continued my journey by beginning my current position as a PhD candidate at the University of Florida. I have gained experience as an experimentalist in low temperature physics.
Education
B.A. Physics - Boston University (2019)
M.S. Physics - University of Florida (2022)
Research Interests
Currently I work with the low temperature group at the High B/T facility of the University of Florida. My research involves improving features of cryogenic systems through thermometry techniques and novel usage of cooling methods. I have been studying the thermodynamics of quantum materials using computational methods in search of next generation cooling systems.
Tuning Fork Thermometry in Helium-3.
Adiabatic Nuclear Demagnetization Cooling.
Computational studies of quantum materials.
