I study physical systems, build experimental tools, and make images—from droplets in a microfluidic chamber to landscapes seen from the sky.
A common thread
Understanding the world
through observation.
My work connects experimental physics, computational analysis, and image-making. I’m interested in how careful measurements and useful tools turn observations into understanding.
