I joined the GPMP at the University of Chicago in 2019, after graduating in 2018 from the University of Dayton with a BS in Physics. During my time at UD and afterwards, I worked on optimization of a new plasmonic material, Titanium Nitride, with the Air Force Research Laboratory. I now work with Dr. La Rivière on the development of imaging geometries and reconstruction algorithms for metal mapping with a new x-ray fluorescence emission tomography (XFET) system.
Beyond my research, I have enjoyed learning about clinical diagnostic medical physics through coursework, practicums, and clinical shadowing. Outside of work, I love to rock climb with other GPMP students, hike, take ballet classes, foster cats, and explore Chicago and its amazing restaurants.
