About

I’m a PhD candidate in Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering at Georgia Tech working on AI for Nanoscience in the Jamali Lab. I develop physics-informed AI models that blend domain knowledge with machine learning to understand nanoscale systems and dynamics.

My recent projects span both materials and structural biology. This includes a Nature Communications paper on physics-informed generative AI for nanoparticle diffusion, as well as accepted contributions to the NeurIPS AI for Science and AI4Mat workshops. Most recently, our work on cryoSENSE, a compressive cryo-Electron Microscopy framework enabling 2.5X higher throughput via generative diffusion priors to reconstruct high-resolution protein images, was accepted at CVPR 2026 and the ICML GenBio workshop.

Currently, I am an R&D Intern in Digital Innovation at Dow, working across enterprise-scale data and MLOps infrastructure to deploy end-to-end machine learning pipelines and interactive web apps for predicting and optimizaing material formulations. Broadly, I am interested in building AI models that learn from complex experimental data, respect physical laws, and accelerate discovery across materials, imaging, and biotechnology.

I am actively seeking full-time opportunities starting after my graduation in December 2026.

➡️ Below you’ll find my publications, teaching, and education. For a quick overview, here is my CV.
