I've been involved in science my whole life, but I began my physics journey after an inspirational undergraduate summer internship at the University of Chicago. It changed my career path and inspired me to pursue a career in Physics. I then completed an additional summer internship at Stanford University and was accepted to the University of California Santa Barbara, a top 10 physics program, for my PhD. I began work with Professor Joseph Incandela on both the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) and Light Dark Matter Experiment (LDMX) collaborations. While at UCSB I have received numerous awards, including the Joseph Polchinski Fellowship, a UCSB Physics Worster Fellowship, and a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship. These stem from my numerous contributions to both collaborations and my dedication to completing high-quality, rigorous, and interesting science. I am proud of my research at UCSB in Machine Learning, Anomaly Detection, and Neural Network development, as well as the leadership skills I have been able to develop working with talented undergraduate students in tackling complicated problems. I look forward to future challenges, and future successes, knowing I have developed the skills needed to excel in any environment.

Undergraduate Research FellowStanford University Jun 2020 - Aug 2020Stanford, California, United StatesUndergraduate Research Assistant through the Leadership Alliance, Summer Research Early Identification Program. I worked with Professor Leo Hollberg on an atomic and optical physics project. We researched and devised a deep-sea atomic clock system for geological mapping using a Herriott-type multipass cell system design. Due to the COVID pandemic, we were forced to complete research long-distance, learning valuable skills in remote communication and research. I kept a dedicated log and attended daily meetings to facilitate communication. I presented my findings to the Stanford Academia at the Stanford Summer Research Presentation, to a wide audience at the 2020 National Leadership Symposium, and at the 2020 Symposium on Undergraduate Research held by the American Physical Society. -
Undergraduate Research AssistantUniversity Of Florida Jun 2017 - May 2019Gainesville, Florida, United StatesWorked for Professor Anthony Brennan (no relation) during my undergraduate degree at the University of Florida. Assisted with the development of a renewable biopolymer through mechanical testing such as Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, and surface energy measurements. Independently researched the development of ice-phobic polymers, focusing on the mechanics of ice adhesion. Kept a dedicated log of my results and presented my findings to coworkers and superiors -
Undergraduate Research AssistantUniversity Of Chicago Jun 2018 - Aug 2018Chicago, Illinois, United StatesResearch Assistant through the National Science Foundation, Research Experience for Undergraduates (NSF REU). Worked for Professor Juan Collar on neutrino physics experiments, helping model the group's small-scale neutrino detector. I Ran simulations on my model to determine the viability of the design and then analyzed the results using programming languages like Python. I presented my findings at the University of Chicago Summer Research Presentation in front of UChicago Physics Faculty.
