OVERVIEW
I'm a second-year physics Ph.D. student working under Dr. Jiabin Yu studying topological quantum materials.
During my undergrad, I worked with Dr. David Tanner on the ADMX (Axion Dark Matter eXperiment) collaboration, characterizing microwave cavity prototypes in the search for axions, a dark matter candidate. I also spent two summers working under Dr. Richard Woolf at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington, D.C., designing gamma-ray detectors using scintillating crystals.
In graduate school, I transitioned to condensed matter theory. I now work under Dr. Jiabin Yu, studying quantum materials.
Outside of school, I enjoy going to the gym, fashion, college football, soccer, reading, playing guitar, and watching overly long history YouTube videos!
Education
B.Sc., University of Florida, 2024
Ph.D., University of Florida
Research Interests
My research falls under the umbrella of condensed matter theory. Under Dr. Jiabin Yu, I study topological and geometric properties of quantum materials.
My current work focuses on the effects of quantum geometry in quantum matter. I'm currently working on deriving the geometric contribution to electron-phonon coupling in topological semimetals, as well as to superfluid weight.
I'm also interested in superconductivity, and am working on simulations of superconductivity in FeTe.
