I'm interested in designing fusion reactors using both computational and experimental methods. I started my PhD in plasma physics at MIT in the Department of Nuclear Science & Engineering in Fall 2025. After graduation, I am interested in eventually becoming a Senior Researcher. I am excited for my work to contribute to a better world!!
FPP design; Cross-machine profile validation and prediction in tokamaks using the MAESTRO framework; CECE system
