Hi! I’m currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Florida. Before joining UF, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute of Experiential AI and Roux Institute of Northeastern University. I received my Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering and an M.S. in Data Science in 2022 from Brown University.
My research lies at the intersection of AI, Materials Science and Chemistry. I develop and deploy generative models, machine learning interatomic potentials, and phenomenological models to accelerate materials and molecular design for a sustainable future.
I’m currently on the job market—welcome to connect via LinkedIn!
