About

I am a doctoral student in chemical physics at Stanford University, working in the Fayer Group. I use ultrafast nonlinear laser spectroscopy to study how molecules move and interact in liquids and other condensed phases, with the aim of advancing our understanding of ultrafast molecular dynamics and condensed matter physics.

These dynamics shape the behavior of systems ranging from next-generation battery electrolytes to materials for nuclear waste remediation — and, more broadly, how chemistry unfolds in complex environments.
