I am an Assistant Computational Scientist at Argonne National Laboratory, working at the intersection of X-ray science, artificial intelligence, and scientific automation. I joined Argonne in 2023 as a Postdoctoral Appointee; before that, I studied computational materials and process systems engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. I am interested in developing intelligent systems that accelerate, automate, and advance scientific discovery.
