I am a current Northwestern undergraduate (Class of 2027) studying Materials Science and Engineering. Throughout 2024 and 2025, I have been working with Patricia Meza on the synthesis and characterization of bimetallic thiophosphates. I am also currently focused on the synthesis of these transition metal chalcogenides via single-crystal chemical-vapor-transport. Outside of research, I spend my time working out, thrifting, and exploring the city of Chicago.
