Hi! Thanks for visiting my website.

I am currently (as of January 2026) a postdoctoral fellow in the Majumdar Lab in Stanford University's Department of Mechanical Engineering. I received my PhD in December of 2025, co-advised by Professors Arun Majumdar and Rob Jackson. Having finished my PhD, I am interested in exploring job opportunities where I can apply my skills to climate change mitigation or other important problems, especially in a private-sector R&D engineering role.

My PhD and postdoc research has aimed to develop processes that catalytically decompose the greenhouse gas methane, with the hope that such processes could be deployed either as emissions-control devices on methane sources or as 'atmospheric methane removal' on ambient air. My work was supported by an NSF GRFP fellowship.

While my current research relates mostly to chemical and process engineering, my undergraduate studies focused on mechanical design and design for manufacturing, while my MS focused on mechatronics. In the 2023-4 and 2024-5 academic years, I also helped to teach the injection molding class in the Product Realization Lab, Stanford's student machine shop.

While a graduate student, I helped launch Holocene Climate, a direct air capture startup that was awarded a Student XPrize in 2021 and has since gone on to raise public and private funding and to build a pilot-scale DAC machine. I've also previously held engineering internships at Livermore National Lab and Wrightspeed, as well as policy-related internships at the California Air Resources Board and at the nonprofit Energy Futures Initiative.

Please don't hesitate to get in touch!

Outside of school and work, I enjoy rock climbing, hiking, and camping. I grew up in both Oakland, CA, and Washington, DC.
