I earned my Ph.D. in analytical chemistry under the mentorship of Dr. Emily A. Smith at Iowa State University, where I focused on the applications of optical spectroscopy, advanced data analysis, and machine learning techniques in material studies across diverse fields. Currently, I am a metrology engineer at Lam Research, applying optical spectroscopy and modeling techniques in semiconductor film development. My expertise includes optical spectroscopy, material science, nanochemistry, sensors, chemometrics, and machine learning.
