Studied topological materials, quantum mechanics, and computational methods. Served as Head TA for introductory computer science courses, was actively involved in student government as Blacker House President and student representative to the Board of Trustees.
Wrestling, robotics, the foundations of my career as a computer scientist.
Developed highly distributed molecular dynamics simulation workflows for use in drug discovery applications. Worked on key workflows including Free Energy Perturbations, Crystal Entropy calculation, and simultaneous mutation state sampling, as well as overhauling the engine's user manual, and internal developer education.
Worked on verification and validation for the Psyche mission, a spacecraft designed to explore a metal-rich asteroid. Managed over 20,000 testing entries, and the software used to track them.
Conducted condensed matter research focused on topological materials in thin-film form. Set up digital infrastructure for new Molecular Beam Epitaxy lab, and conducted thesis research on Yttrium Oxide thin films.
At 15, I co-founded a project-based learning program bringing STEM education to students ages 9-17. Developed curriculum for all CS classes and managed a team of student teachers. Featured in the Wall Street Journal in 2017.
