Recent Publications

In 2025, I published Growth of InBi on InSb(100) in the MBE Special Collection of the Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology A.

Co-Chairing Sigma Pi Sigma’s 2025 Physics & Astronomy Congress

I currently serve as co-chair for the 2025 Physics & Astronomy Congress. This meeting is the largest known undergraduate focused Physics & Astronomy conference in the world. Over 1300 undergraduate students from across the country attend to explore career paths in physics and astronomy, network with peers and professionals, and present their research. As a part of my role, I oversee all of the programming and planning of the Congress, with a team of over 100 volunteers.

Sci-Comm

From 2023 - 2024, I worked with the Materials Research Society through the under-represented and minority (UREM) student writing program to write for the MRS Meeting Scene and MRS Bulletin.
