Education
University of California - Santa Cruz, B.S. in Physics, 2018-2022
Worcester Polytechnic Institute, PhD in Physics, 2022-Present

I started at WPI in Fall 2022 as a PhD student in Physics. I am a research assistant working with Prof. Sam Walcott in the Mathematical Sciences department researching mathematical and computational models of muscle function at various scales. I have done work relating to muscle fatigue at the molecular scale as well as modeling the metabolic cost of force generated by whole muscle.
