HAVERFORD COLLEGE
B. Sc. Physics
B. Sc. Mathematics
GPA: 3.8/4.0 May 2024

I currently study Physics and Mathematics at Haverford College and work as a research assistant at Squishlab (The Brzinski Group).
 

I have various interests within experimental physics ranging from soft matter to material science. For the past few years, I have been exploring the naunces of the Density of Modes in granular materials (for geohazard forecasting) at Squishlab.

​

I also spend time studying pure mathematics, where I focus on Graph Theory, Topology, and Knot Theory. I apply different combinatorial techniques to study Ramsey numbers, Alcuin numbers and other questions about graph planarity.

Experimental Soft Matter Physics

Research assistant at Squishlab assisting in the research of changing state of “soft” matter. Studied the behavior of disordered or amorphous systems of granular materials when they are compressed or sheared. Applied and received funding from NSF for 3 years; from 2022-2025. 

Laboritory Assistant

Assisting in setting up and taking down Freshman and Sophomore Laboritory Experiments. 

Teaching Assistant

Grading Freshman and Sophomore Labs

Internship

I studied the practical applications of Mechanical Vibration, and then I assembled a water-cooling system and attached it to a spiral conveyor.

Internship

I learned how sound could be electronically distorted and changed using ICs, diodes and transistors and then assisted in building a "Fuzz" and a "Distortion-Overdrive" pedal with my own custom graphics.
