Bio/CV:
I use density function theory and ab-initio molecular dynamics to study matter in extreme conditions, which include the conditions of planet interiors. My latest project was to study high pressure electrides, in which valence electrons of atoms instead localize in the interstitial sites of the material. I received my bachelor's and master's degrees in chemistry at San Francisco State University, where my previous research was simulating superionic metal halides as a proxy for Li-ion batteries. I have also been an NSF-GRFP Fellow since 2023.
