I am a graduate student advised by Dr. Raluca Ilie. My research interests involve modeling the dynamics of plasma outflow and its impact on planetary atmospheric habitability. 

I graduated from the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) with a B.S. in physics and a B.S. in mathematics. While a student at UIC, I worked on the application of knot invariants in topological quantum computation. I also worked in the Energy Systems and Infrastructure Analysis division at Argonne National Laboratory, where I developed two GUI applications as modules for a hydropower plant project.
