Graduate Studies, Ph.D. in Physics, University of Kentucky (2024)
I am currently a postdoctoral student at the University of Kentucky, working with the Neutron Symmetries Group at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). As part of the Nab experiment at ORNL, I am responsible for maintaining and upgrading the data acquisition system, as well as contributing to its commissioning, data collection, and data analysis.
My broader research interests lie in high-energy phenomenology, particularly in studying fundamental interactions in and beyond the Standard Model. During my Ph.D. at the University of Kentucky, I focused on neutrino phenomenology, exploring precision neutrino interactions and their implications for new physics. My work involved theoretical modeling and data-driven constraints to improve our understanding of neutrino properties and their role in fundamental symmetries.
