I am an undergraduate physics student from Northern California, where I was born and raised. In the fall of 2024 I will be attending UCSB to pursue a BS in physics, with a specialization in condensed matter. Afterwards I plan to pursue a doctorate in a similar field. For the summer I am joining Dr. Baldini’s lab to work with the novel momentum microscope, record and analyze ARPES data, and learn what working in a CMP lab is like. I have many interests outside physics, but my favorites playing piano, messing around with yoyos, and cooking.
