I am currently a Ph.D. student at Michigan State University. Before joining MSU, I received my M.S from the University of Michigan (2020), working with Jie (Jackie) Li and my B.A from Augustana College (2018). I completed two summer internships during my undergraduate career at the geophysical lab, Carnegie Institution for Science and LDEO, Columbia University.
My research discipline is experimental mineralogy, geochemistry, and mineral physics. I am fascinated by deep Earth processes and simulate mantle and core conditions using diamond anvil cells and synchrotron facilities.
