About Me
I am an undergraduate researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison majoring in Engineering Physics and Physics with a certificate in Mathematics. My research interests lie at the intersection of condensed matter physics and quantum materials, specifically focusing on the emergent electronic, topological, and ferroelectric properties of 2D systems.
My experience bridges both experimental synthesis and some computational modeling. In the Rhodes Lab (UW-Madison), I work on the exfoliation, stacking, and low-temperature transport characterization of novel transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). Complementing this empirical work, I developed a 1D self-consistent field (SCF) solver from scratch in Python to simulate how charge carrier density screens out ferroelectric polarization in metallic regimes.
I have also worked in the Dean Lab (Columbia University) to investigate defect and twist angle engineering of 2D materials in order to create novel electrostatic gating architectures. I have also set this summer program work of my own design up as a collaborative work between UW-Madison and Columbia University in order to gain experience working in a larger scientific community
I am actively preparing for graduate study to pursue a PhD in experimental condensed matter physics.
