Publications

As a researcher, I am committed to promoting a more ethical and virtuous academic publishing system. In this section, you will notice that I have highlighted in green those publications that were published in none-profit or journals which invest their profits into the academic community and actively advocate for open science (click here to learn more). My goal is to see this entire list turn green in the future.

In addition to my peer-reviewed publications, I encourage you to explore the science communication and outreach section of this site, where I share my efforts to engage with broader and more diverse audiences. Evaluating both aspects of my work provides a fuller picture of my dedication to advancing knowledge and making science accessible to all.
