About Me
I am currently a Ph. D. student at Stanford University in Professor
Juan Rivas’s group, the SUPER-Lab
(Stanford University Power Electronics Research). Our group conducts research in
the high-frequency power electronics design space, and builds efficient,
high-frequency power converters for a broad range of applications.
I was born and raised right here in Las Vegas, NV. In May of
2020, I graduated from UNLV with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering, and in
December of 2021, I graduated from UNLV with a M.S. in Electrical Engineering.
Outside of school, growing up, I played baseball for fifteen
years, beginning when I was three years old in tee ball. I now play golf,
roller hockey, and LOTS of basketball in my free time. I am also a fan of the
New York Mets, New York Giants, and Vegas Golden Knights.
