Aspiring physicist with a focus on nuclear physics and machine learning.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated and passionate physics student at Georgia State University, where I have maintained a GPA of 3.84 and earned several academic honors, including being on the President’s List and Dean’s List. My education has equipped me with a solid foundation in physics, complemented by hands-on research experience in nuclear physics and machine learning.
During my time as a Student Research Assistant at the Department of Energy, I contributed to a project involving cosmic ray detectors, which included a summer internship at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Currently, I am furthering my research at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, where I am studying machine learning models to optimize detectors for tritium detection. My commitment to scientific inquiry is reflected in my participation in various research presentations, showcasing my findings at notable conferences.
Beyond academics, I actively engage in community service and leadership roles, including volunteering for Toys for Tots and serving as a Social Media Coordinator for the Women in Physics GSU Chapter. I am eager to continue my journey in therapeutic medical physics, focusing on innovative solutions that minimize damage to healthy tissues in targeted radiation therapy.
