Laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy of diatomic iodine excited using an argon-ion laser. I performed this experiment in undergrad on October 13, 2020 when I took Modern Experimental Physics taught by Prof. Seyffie Maleki.
I am a postdoctoral research associate in the Chemical Physics and Analysis
group at
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
My work explores nuclear quantum effects through simulations of multidimensional
ultrafast nonlinear laser spectroscopy and X-ray spectroscopy.
I received my PhD in theoretical and computational chemistry from
Johns Hopkins University, where I used high-accuracy quantum chemical
calculations and machine learning to model and simulate photochemical processes.
I studied laser cooling, molecular conical intersections,
and nonadiabatic chemical dynamics.
I serve on the
Executive Committee
of the Maryland Local Section of the American Chemical Society
and am responsible for managing and updating the
Local Section website. I also served as a Safety Captain on the Johns Hopkins
University
Chemistry Student Safety Committee.
I graduated as
valedictorian
from Union College in Schenectady, NY with a double major in
physics and chemistry. I synthesized and characterized
metal-infused aerogels in the
Union College Aerogel Lab, where I completed my Honors senior thesis. Check out the
