  • Junior, Physics

Hello, I am a sophomore majoring in Physics with an Astronomy Emphasis at UW-Milwaukee. Since my freshman year, I have participated in both biophysics and astrophysics research as an undergraduate at UW-Milwaukee, and I am currently involved in research related to pulsars with the research group STARS@UWM, which is led by Prof. David Kaplan, Prof. Sarah Vigeland, and Prof. Dawn Erb. Within the past year, our research group has discovered three pulsars, which is very exciting. In the future, I hope to attend graduate school and pursue a PhD in astrophysics. Additionally, I enjoy playing the violin and learning languages, especially Japanese, Spanish, Korean, and German, as time permits.
