I am a second year Ph.D. student in the Sinclair Lab. I am interested in the application of quantum computing platforms to nuclear and particle physics, lattice gauge theory, and quantum chromodynamics. I am also interested in experimental particle and nuclear physics as well as topics in high energy theory.

Year of Admission: 2020
Website: Plasma Physics
Research Interests: Plasma Physics
My research interest is in fusion power, especially using novel confinement schemes like the magnetic mirror.
I currently work with Prof. Cary Forest on the WHAM device, modelling High Harmonic Fast Wave (HHFW) heating for ions. I hope to test my simulations on the device itself in a few years.
Outside of work, I like to spend time sailing on Lake Mendota, embroidering and dancing.
