I’m interested in the experimental study of quantum materials, focusing on unconventional superconductivity and its interplay with other emergent electronic phases.

Interesting Fact:
Outside of physics, I have a deep interest in the history of science. During a year studying abroad in France, I explored the cultural and intellectual roots of quantum physics—how the ideas emerged, and the people behind them. A highlight was visiting the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, where I conducted archival research on the role of play, collaboration, and fun, and how these dynamics helped shape the development of quantum theory!
