I am currently a NASA Postdoctoral Research Fellow at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, where I work with the X-ray Optics group on developing multilayer optical coatings for hard X-ray energies—an essential technology for future NASA missions.I completed my PhD in Physics at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), with research focused on novel semiconductor-based tunable optical modulators, under the guidance of Dr. Don A. Gregory. This work has potential applications in optical communication, sensing, and imaging. I also hold an MS in Electrical Engineering from UAH.
