Matriculation Year 2020: B.S. in Physics, Astronomy, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (2020)
Advisor: Chin-Tu Chen

I joined UChicago’s Medical Physics program in 2020 after receiving B.S. degrees in Physics and Astronomy from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. I currently work with Dr. Chin-Tu Chen researching theranostic radiopharmaceuticals for applications in prostate cancer. Specifically, I am developing the synthesis, radiolabeling, and pre-clinical evaluation of the true theranostic pair 43Sc/47Sc-PSMA-617 for the eventual staging and treatment of metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer.

Outside of research, I like to spend my free time fishing, camping, building models, and exploring all the unique cultures and cuisines that Chicago has to offer.
