I am an accelerator physicist in the Accelerator Facilities Division, currently responsible for the Accelerator Test Facility electron beamline and the Ultrafast Electron Diffraction beamline at the Low Energy Accelerator Development facility. My research interest include beam dynamics, advanced acceleration, and AI/ML techniques for accelerator science.
