About me

Hello, I’m a third-year PhD student at MIT, affiliated with the Chemical Engineering department and the Center for Computational Science and Engineering. Under the guidance of my advisors, Rafael Gómez-Bombarelli and Martin Bazant, I’m combining machine learning with computational techniques to advance materials modelling.

My main focus is on surface reconstruction of metal oxides, with an aim to improve catalysis and electrochemistry. Ultimately, I want my work to contribute to solutions in energy, sustainability, and climate change. I’m grateful for the support of my NSF Graduate Research Fellowship in this endeavor.

Before MIT, I studied both computer science and chemistry at Duke University and delved into interdisciplinary computational research.

Away from the lab and books, I enjoy photography, playing badminton, and the occasional hike—it’s these interests that keep me balanced amidst my rigorous academic pursuits.
