My writing has previously appeared in WIRED, Slate, Scientific American, MIT Technology Review, Aeon, Quanta Magazine, New Scientist, Physics World and Massive Science.
Previously, I was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Science at Bard High School Early College Manhattan.
I also write a Substack newsletter called Ultracold which features monthly longform essays reflecting on my experience as a queer, non-binary, immigrant physicist and science writer living, learning and working in New York.
