I completed my PhD in 2025, with a focus in Additive Manufacturing. I used my physics background to model complex systems, taking into account of thermal, mechanical, optical, and chemical systems. My experience has sharpened my ability to communicate complex technical concepts to diverse audiences, from high-level academic conferences to K–12 STEM outreach. I thrive in environments where I can apply my technical expertise in a way to bridge the gap between technical and non-technical perspectives.

I grew up as a Third Culture Kid (TCK), having spent my K-12 years in international communities in China, Indonesia, and Uganda. I am currently based in Pittsburgh, PA.
