I am a physicist and educator currently serving as a Teaching Fellow of Physics at Schreiner University in Kerrville, Texas. I earned my Ph.D. in Physics from Wayne State University, where my research focused on theoretical and computational condensed matter physics.

My doctoral research investigated non-reciprocal superconducting transport in semiconductor-superconductor hybrid systems, with particular emphasis on the superconducting diode effect in planar Josephson junctions. My work explored the roles of Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling, in-plane magnetic fields, crystalline anisotropy, electrostatic gating, and disorder in controlling critical-current asymmetry.

I use a combination of tight-binding simulations, quantum transport calculations, and analytical models to study how symmetry breaking and microscopic material properties influence superconducting and electronic transport in low-dimensional quantum systems.

Alongside research, I am deeply interested in physics education. I enjoy developing intuitive, concept-driven approaches to introductory physics and creating visualizations, simulations, and teaching materials that help students connect mathematical ideas with physical intuition.
