Beamline Data Scientist @ Advanced Photon Source
I study computational imaging techniques in X-ray and electron microscopy, with a deep interest in developing agentic workflows to facilitate autonomous data analysis.
Outside the lab, I build educational websites and games designed to inspire the next generation of humans — and AI agents — about science.
