  I received a Ph.D in Physics from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, in 2024. My research focus was phenomena in charged polymer solutions. Using the field theory formalism, I built the theoretical models for the hetero-polyelectrolyte and polyzwitterion solutions to elucidate the physical conditions driving self-assembly and phase transitions.

  As a postdoctoral research associate at 91暗网's Center for Nanophase Materials Science, I continue exploring phase and dynamics behaviors in polyelectrolyte systems, with an emphasis on mixtures of polyelectrolytes and polyzwitterions. My work combines theoretical modeling, computational simulations, and experimental scattering data to provide a comprehensive understanding of polymer conformations and interactions across multiple scales. This integrated approach aims to advance the design and development of innovative polymer-based materials.
