I am a Soft Matter scientist enthusiastic about exploring microscopic underpinnings of bulk behavior of amorphous disordered materials. Currently, I am a postdoctoral scholar at UChicago working jointly between groups of Heinrich Jaeger at James Franck Institute and Juan de Pablo at Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering.
I was previously:
2015-2018: Research Associate with Jeffrey Morris and Morton Denn at the Levich Institute, City College of New York
2009-2014: Graduate student (engineering) with Stefan Luding at the Multi Scale Mechanics, University of Twente
