Research interests

My Ph.D. in Chemistry explored the intersection of theoretical modeling, advanced instrumentation, and material characterization. I developed models to quantify the effects of noise in optical measurements of excited state transport, designed and built time-resolved optical instruments, and characterized novel optoelectronic semiconductors.

This work deepened my expertise in spectroscopy, instrumentation, and data analysis, while fostering a broader interest in interdisciplinary research. I enjoy approaching scientific challenges with both creativity and analytical rigor, moving fluidly between theory, experimentation, and practical application. My methods are grounded in precision but remain adaptable across fields.

Looking ahead, I intend to expand this expertise through postdoctoral research, particularly in material science and functional nanostructures. I aim to contribute to collaborative, interdisciplinary efforts that reflect the evolving nature of scientific inquiry.

Professional background

I am currently a Software Engineer at Bridger Photonics, where I develop tools for 3D analysis of fluid dynamics to support methane emissions detection in the energy sector. My work supports data analysts by providing intuitive and high-performance software for interpreting complex spatial data.

Previously, I held roles in management, professional training, business analysis, network operations, desktop publishing, graphic design, and web development. These experiences have provided me with a broad skill set, a practical approach to problem-solving, and strong communication abilities.

Personal interests

Outside of research, I pursue photography, digital art, cooking, science communication, 3D printing, and creative writing. These activities contribute to my creative thinking and often provide new perspectives in my scientific work.

My personal life is shaped by my commitment to my spouse and three children. This foundation strengthens my dedication to social justice and feminism, which informs both my personal values and my engagement with the broader academic and social community.
