I am a graduate student advised by Dr. Gan Zhang. My research interests involve the physics of the atmosphere and climate, along with its applications to renewable energy.

I graduated from the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) with a B.S. in physics and a B.S. in mathematics. While a student at UIC, I worked on the application of knot invariants in topological quantum computation. I also worked in the Energy Systems and Infrastructure Analysis division at Argonne National Laboratory, where he developed two GUI applications as modules for a hydropower plant project.
