I'm materials science researcher from the broader Seattle area. I recently completed my PhD in the Materials Theory and Design Group under Professor James M. Rondinelli at Northwestern University. I'll be starting a postdoc with the Ceder group at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in March, 2023.

Postdoctoral Scholar

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (2023-present)

Graduate Research Assistant

Northwestern University (2017-2022)

• Explores the stability and synthesizability of various materials in aqueous electrochemical environments with thermodynamic models

• Evaluates the stability and electronic properties of (heteroanionic) molybdenum compounds for functional applications (e.g. electrides, metal-insulator transitions)

• Collaborates with experimentalists to guide syntheses for novel compounds with Pourbaix diagrams, Ellingham diagrams, and density functional theory calculations

• Post-processes DFT output with in-house code written in Python, C, and Fortran

• Aides in writing resource and funding proposals, including for national supercomputers, MURI, and MRSEC funding agencies

• Disseminates work through written articles, oral presentations, and poster sessions
