3 Publications

I have coauthored a significant number of publications, listed below, including a research article in Science Magazine, and four Physical Review Letters. Most of these are related to my thesis research [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9][10,11], some are from additional research projects I have worked on at Princeton University [12][13,14,15,16], and others are from previous research experience [17,18].
