About
I am a third-year PhD candidate in the chemical engineering department at MIT. Currently, I am working as a research assistant in the Doyle Soft Matter Engineering group. Previously, I received a Bachelor's degree in chemical and biomolecular engineering at Georgia Tech. My research interests lie in the interdisciplinary application of polymers and soft matter for health, specifically in pharmaceutical formulation development. Outside of the lab, I am working as a Graduate Community Fellow for the Office of Graduate Education at MIT.
