Welcome to My Site!

I work as a Senior Scientist at Marathon Fusion.

From January 2023 through July 2025 I was a staff research physicist at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory.

Before that I was a postdoc at Princeton University, working with the Plasma Control Group to develop an open-source “systems code” for tokamaks, and with ZERO Lab to study fusion’s value as part of future electricity markets.

I completed my PhD in Princeton’s Program in Plasma Physics in 2020. My thesis work was on developing a piece of technology with application for nuclear fusion reactors. Later, in 2023, I shared the Kaul Foundation Prize for this work.
