After earning my BS in Physics from the University of Kentucky, I began my doctoral program studying neutron capture cross-sections for s-process nucleosynthesis under Dr. Ruchi Mahajan. I have previous research experience in programming FPGAs for data analysis, and I recently spent a summer in Japan researching the EDM of Helium-3 as part of the NOPTREX project in collaboration with Nagoya University's Phi Lab.
