Exploring Physics

I'm an undergraduate at the University of Arizona studying Physics (with Honors) and Data Science, with a minor in Computer Science. As a member of the W.A. Franke Honors College, I maintain a 3.927 GPA and have been recognized on the Dean's List with Distinction.

My research spans multiple domains: I have recently started working on molecular and ultrafast dynamics with Dr. Nikolay Golubev. Since my freshman year, I've continued to develop machine learning algorithms to identify Long Lived Particles for the ATLAS experiment at CERN with Dr. Kenneth Johns. I have previously have contributed to climate science research on humidity and heat stress over South Asia., as a high school student.
