My name is Steven (he/him/his), I’m from Los Angeles, CA and now live in Goleta, CA.

I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Materials as an NSF, GEM, and Cota-Robles Fellow at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where I work in the Wilson Group on projects related to the discovery, characterization, and optimization of quantum materials. Specifically, I innovate new synthesis techniques to chase after high-quality crystals of interesting compounds, and I utilize cutting-edge analyses of X-ray and neutron scattering data and enjoy developing useful programming tools to facilitate these analyses.

Prior to arriving at UCSB, I completed my B.S. in Chemical Engineering at UCLA, where I concurrently interned for several years in the Advanced Thermoelectric Materials Group at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). During that time, I also interned briefly in the alkylation plant at the Chevron El Segundo Refinery and in the Kauzlarich Lab at UC Davis. After graduating, I worked for a few months in the Materials Engineering, Test, & Evaluation Group at JPL and then interned briefly in the Thin Film Material Science and Processing Group at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
