Advisor: Chin-Tu Chen
Advisor: Jerry Nolen

I joined the GPMP in 2021 after earning my B.S. in Physics with a minor in mathematics from Stevens Institute of Technology in 2020.  Under the Graduate Research Cooperative program, I am completing my thesis work as a join initiative between Dr. Chen's lab here at UChicago and Dr. Jerry Nolen at Argonne National Laboratory. My focus is on Auger electron therapy and novel isotope production. Specifically, I am measuring prompt gamma cascades and beam-off ground states or long-lived isomers of the radioactive residues of Auger emitters using the ATLAS accelerator and GammaSphere at Argonne. This data will be used to improve optical model parameters in nuclear reaction modeling. Outside the lab, I enjoy powerlifting, tattooing, playing music, and going to punk/metal shows.
