I am a Chemistry-Physics student and researcher at Reed College interested in materials chemistry. My research broadly focuses on understanding how molecular structure and intermolecular interactions give rise to the optical, electronic, and mechanical properties of dynamic and bioinspired materials.

I am currently working on organic molecular crystals and soft electronic materials with Dr. Gonzalo Campillo-Alvarado. I have also conducted computational biophysics research with Dr. Thomas Dannenhoffer-Lafage.

In addition to my research, I am a federally licensed Senior Reactor Operator at the Reed Research Reactor and a Physical Chemistry course assistant.

Outside work, I enjoy running, making coffee, photography, and building things, ranging from small projects to a 15-foot-tall trebuchet. I was also a producer of a Dostoevsky novel-based short film that placed 4th on an international movie competition.
