As an applied physicist, I design nanosystems and test concepts in the precision control of light-matter interactions. I am a researcher in the Munday lab in the EECS Department at UC Davis. My graduate studies were in nanoscience at UC Berkeley where I was supported by the UC Dissertation Year Fellowship and the Molecular Foundry at LBNL. |

My research focuses on the design and testing of complex, optical materials. My current work targets optical networks and forces in small systems. I am also interested in sensing in extreme environments and topics in chirality. |
