I’m a PhD student at UC Berkeley; my work in lattice quantum chromodynamics focuses on various aspects of hadron spectroscopy. Completed and ongoing projects include extracting hyperon masses to the physical point, analyzing nucleon-nucleon and nucleon-hyperon interactions through finite-volume scattering, and implementing non-perturbative renormalization.

In the past, I have worked in perturbative general relativity for gravitational wave source modeling; non-neutral plasma physics relevant to antihydrogen synthesis; and laser-plasma interactions (non-linear optics) found in inertial confinement fusion experiments. Outside of physics, I enjoy volunteering as a teacher for Mount Tamalpais College at San Quentin State Prison (photo credit), writing popular science articles for the Berkeley Science Review (where I serve as an editor), writing music, and reading.
