Ph.D. Minor, Computer ScienceBioI am a Physics Ph.D. student at Stanford University, also pursuing PhD minor in Computer Science with AI specialization. I work in the group of Prof. Tony Heinz. I am interested in studying opto-electronic properties and emergent phenomena in novel two-dimensional van der Waals heterostructures. My current research focuses on transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) homo- and heterobilayers. I completed my B.S. in Physics from Harvard University where I worked in the group of Prof. Philip Kim on interlayer excitons in WSe2/MoSe2 heterostructures and quantum transport in WSe2 mono- and twisted homobilayers.

Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research focuses on how environmental conditions affect the interaction between bacteriophages and their bacterial hosts, and their impact on disease. I use mathematical models, and collaborate with lab and field researchers to inform my models. My current study systems include bacterial infections in the lung of patients with cystic fibrosis, and abalone withering syndrome.
