About Me
I just started as a graduate student at The Ohio State University working towards my Ph.D. in Physics. I haven't settled on a research topic yet, but I'm leaning towards high energy particle physics theory.

I recently graduated from the University of Delaware with a B.S. double majoring in Physics and Mathematics. Research topics I pursued while an undergraduate include: studying ionization of atoms and molecules in ultra intense laser fields, and separating and classifying their multiple ionization mechanisms; studying quantum transport properties of electrons in graphene nanostructures and carbon nanowires, and trying to observe zitterbewegung oscillations from first principle single wave packet simulations in graphene nanowires; and observing high energy cosmic neutrino collisions deep within the ice of Antarctica as an observer for the ANITA balloon born experiment.
