I am a final year EECS PhD student at MIT in the Computational Prototyping Group, advised by Professor Jacob White. I earned my SM degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT in May 2020. My current research focuses on building hand-held, low-field, permanent magnet MRI scanners for point-of-care and educational settings. I am honored to be funded by the National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowship.
I received a BS in Biomedical Engineering from The University of Texas at Austin in May 2017. As an undergraduate, I worked with Professor Nanshu Lu on developing bio-integrated electronics with 2D materials.
