Postdoctoral Scholar, Photon Science, SLAC
BioAs a Postdoctoral Research Scholar at Stanford University and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, I dive deep into pioneering plastic recycling methods using advanced X-ray techniques. My fervor for innovation propels my quest to unravel the intricacies of catalysts and biocatalysts at solid polymer interfaces, employing novel in-situ and operando X-ray scattering, spectroscopy, and microscopy methods under reaction conditions. My ultimate goal is not only to expand the boundaries of scientific understanding but also to engineer solutions addressing pressing environmental concerns, thus making a meaningful societal impact and forging a path towards a more sustainable future.

Postdoctoral Scholar, Particle Physics and Astrophysics, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioThe composition of the Universe and the interplay of its various forces and matter have always fascinated me. My journey into particle physics began when I joined the ATLAS Collaboration during master's. Since then, I have analyzed data from proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), where I've been looking for novel particles and deviations from theoretical predictions. At Stanford, I study the shape of the Higgs potential. I apply state-of-the-art machine learning techniques to measure the production of Higgs boson pairs using data from the ongoing LHC run and study if the shape of the Higgs potential differs considerably from that predicted by the Standard Model (SM). Furthermore, I work on the upgrade of the ATLAS inner-tracking detector for the future High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC), which will be crucial to study the Higgs potential if its shape aligns with the SM predictions.

BioMy current research focuses on the design of catalytic materials. I have studied atomistic phenomena on catalytic surfaces to develop materials with improved catalytic capability under the philosophy of rational design. To achieve this goal, I use computational approaches, e.g., first-principles calculations and artificial intelligence (AI). Applications include heterogeneous catalysis for exhaust emission control, hydrogen production, and utilization of emission gas to realize carbon neutralization.
