I recently earned a B.S. in NanoEngineering from the University of California, San Diego. I am beginning my PhD studies in Materials Science and Engineering at Stanford University. My research will concentrate on developing granular hydrogels for biomedical applications. My current interests are hydrogels, mechanical properties, and chemical synthesis.During my undergraduate career, my research primarily focused on observing and optimizing the mechanical properties of semiconducting polymers using custom tensile testing characterization setups. Additionally, I have experience in testing and fabricating organic photovoltaics for large-scale applications along with hydrogels.
