About Me

I am a PhD candidate in space physics at the University of New Hampshire Space Sciences Center under the guidance of Dr. Matthew Argall, and supported by a NASA FINESST fellowship. My research focus includes magnetospheric physics (MI coupling, magnetic reconnection, electric field), and ML/AI for space weather prediction. I am also interested in foundation models for broader scientific discovery, and model interpretability and explainability.

I have previous associations at Los Alamos National Laboratory Theoretical Division, NorthWest Research Associates, Frontier Development Lab (FDL) Heliolab, and most recently as an AI/ML intern at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.
