Lasers | Material Science | Vertical Farming | March for Science

Yes, this is a photo from my wedding. 😃

First time surfing with my fish foam shortie at La Jolla Shores. :) I learned how to surf on this board.

Leading a chant at our 2019 rally in lower Manhattan!

I specialize in studying the light-matter interactions between high powered lasers and nanoparticles. I am a Senior Laser Systems Engineer at Cymer/ASML. I hold a Ph.D. in Materials Chemistry from NYU Tandon School of Engineering. I completed by postdoc through the National Research Council (National Academies of Science) at the Naval Research Laboratory. I founded an aquaponic vertical farming course called Urban Food Lab. I am also the co-founder of a science advocacy non-profit called March for Science NYC.
My hobbies: Baking (mainly pita bread) and surfing!
