About Me
I am a PhD candidate and NSF GRFP Fellow in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of California, Davis. Advised by Jeremy N. Munday, I predominantly use atomic force microscopy and computational techniques to study the quantum Casimir force acting between microscopic surfaces. I previously received my B.S. in Physics from the California State University, Long Beach in 2019. Advised by Hadi Tavassol, I used electrochemical and optical techniques to study the chemomechanical effects of the hydrogen evolution reaction and alloying on metal surfaces.
