I'm materials science researcher from the broader Seattle area. I completed my PhD in the Materials Theory and Design Group under Professor James M. Rondinelli at Northwestern University. I've been with the Ceder group at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and University of California, Berkeley since March 2023. In 2025, I'll continuing my journey in Berkeley with BIDMaP to work on AI-driven materials discovery as a postdoctoral fellow.

Postdoctoral Scholar

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and University of California, Berkeley (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
