Research Interests
I work with Prof. Elisabetta Matsumoto on topics in soft matter physics related to the structure, elasticity, and self-assembly of ordered & knotted materials. I am also interested in phase transitions of soft materials, where sample shape and thermodynamic state can be strongly coupled.
Memberships and Committees:
- Member of APS
- Assist Sven Behrens in organizing the Soft Matter Bag lunch series (currently)
- Served on the GT organizing committee for the 2016 Conference for Undergraduate Women in Physics (at GT) (2015 - 2016)
- Founded and organized the "Physics Forum" (a GT Physics graduate student seminar) (2013-2015); continued by the GT Graduate Association of Physicists (GAP).
