About

Welcome! I am an N3AS Postdoc Fellow working on theoretical nuclear astrophysics at UC Berkeley. My research sits at the intersection of astrophysics, nuclear physics, and machine learning, exploring how exotic nuclear properties shape cosmic phenomena like r-process nucleosynthesis and kilonova.

I received my PhD from Clemson University in December 2023, under the supervision of Prof. Bradley Meyer. As a Postdoc Fellow, I am co-mentored by Rebecca Surman (University of Notre Dame), Gail McLaughlin (NC State University) and Dan Kasen (UC Berkeley).
