About Me
I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Stanford University (defended in April 2026). I conducted my doctoral research in the Dionne Lab, advised by Jennifer Dionne.
I am an interdisciplinary researcher working at the intersection of materials science, photonics, immunology, and computation. My work combines spectroscopy, immunology, and machine learning to develop dynamic, label-free approaches for monitoring immune cell identity and functional state at single-cell resolution.
I develop nanoparticle-based optical and spectroscopic platforms to interrogate biological systems that are difficult to probe using conventional techniques. This includes developing multimodal surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy platforms combined with machine learning to phenotype engineered immune cells such as CAR T cells, as well as the synthesis and functionalization of multispectral lanthanide-doped upconverting nanoparticles as long-term, non-invasive, and potentially force-sensitive optical probes for studying immune interactions.
More broadly, I enjoy bridging disciplines, mentoring students, and communicating complex technical ideas to diverse audiences.
