I am a fourth-year undergraduate at UC Berkeley majoring in Physics and Statistics. I am interested in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, particularly in combining theoretical and experimental approaches to understand and control complex physical systems. In Prof. Naomi Ginsberg’s group, I use computational imaging to study the formation of self-assembling materials; I am now investigating how these systems can be controlled to guide their assembly. Outside of research, I enjoy organizing events for the undergraduate physics community through the Society of Physics Students (SPS) at Berkeley and participating in K-12 science outreach. Other hobbies of mine include running, hiking, and reading.
