I grew up in the suburbs of DFW in Texas and am currently pursuing a double major in Physics and Math at UT Austin, expecting to graduate in May 2026. My prior research experience encompasses constructing transition metal dichalcogenide heterostructures, performing Raman spectroscopy, and various microscopy methods. I have also built optical setups used to demonstrate entanglement and basic quantum information protocols. I am particularly interested in exploring the intricate behaviors of quantum materials and their applications for quantum information. Outside of academia, I enjoy reading, playing strategy games, and exploring different restaurants.
