Welcome!

<aside>

I am a postdoctoral scholar in Electrical Engineering at Stanford University, working with Eric Pop, with a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue University, advised by Xiulin Ruan.

My research develops foundational theories of thermal and electrical transport for energy and computing technologies.

My research aims to address three connected questions:

What fundamentally limits thermal transport?
What sets the minimum energy for electronic computation?
How do coupled electrons and phonons transport affect energy dissipation and efficiency of semiconductor devices?
