About

I'm a Ph.D. candidate in Chemistry and an NSF Research Fellow in the Hartwig Group at the University of California, Berkeley. My research focuses on combining transition-metal catalysis with data science, machine learning, and high-throughput experimentation to accelerate discovery in synthetic chemistry.

My experience spans organic and inorganic synthesis, asymmetric catalysis, high-throughput experimentation, analytical chemistry, computational chemistry, molecular docking, programming, machine learning, and data science.

Outside of the lab, you can find me hiking, brewing coffee, tending to my vegetable garden, and throwing pottery.
