I am an experimental physicist with expertise in advanced scattering techniques used to study structure, magnetism, and electronic behavior in quantum materials. My research interests include unconventional superconductors, frustrated magnets, and topological materials. I am particularly interested in the interaction between electronic and structural degrees of freedom, as well as the effects of disorder and short range correlations.
