I am an experimental particle astrophysics doctoral student at
Case Western Reserve University. I'm currently working in the
Monreal Lab and the Project 8 collaboration, pursuing my
research interests in neutrino physics.
Research
The Project 8 experiment aims to measure the mass of the
neutrino, a subatomic particle with extremely low mass,
through the analysis of the beta decay of tritium atoms. The
experiment uses a novel technique called cyclotron radiation
emission spectroscopy (CRES) to measure the energy spectrum of
electrons emitted in the radioactive decay of tritium. By
measuring the energy distribution of the emitted electrons,
Project 8 aims to determine the absolute mass of neutrinos
with unprecedented precision.
Within the Project 8 Collaboration, I am working in a few
different projects. As part of the machine learning team, we
implemented deep convolutional neural network autoencoder
(U-Net based) to segment highly class-imbalanced spectrogram
images, improving efficiency over traditional methods by more
than 20%. Currently, I am employing natural language
processing (NLP) techniques in machine learning to identify
patterns within noisy signals, thus enabling low power signal
detection. I am also working with resonant cavity mode
filtering and manipulation.

I am a graduate student in Physics at Case Western Reserve
University, where I am conducting research in the exciting field
of neutrino physics.
In addition to my academic pursuits, I am an avid photographer
with a deep passion for capturing the beauty of landscapes and
architecture, as well as people/pets. During my free time, if I
am not working on a home or car project, I like to dedicate my
time acquiring new skills. I enjoy immersing myself in reading,
exploring new realms through video games, and staying active
through sports like tennis, soccer, and basketball.
