Self-contained legal assistant integrating the MPEP, 35 U.S.C., and 37 C.F.R. into a semantically searchable backend. Provides citation-linked answers using hybrid retrieval and hallucination control.
Materials science engineer entering Arizona Law (Class of 2028) with a focus on patent law in biotechnology and emerging defense technologies. My technical foundation includes a master's in materials science and engineering with a concentration in nanotechnology at Johns Hopkins, preceded by a physics degree focused on computational modeling and AI applications. I also completed graduate coursework in stealth engineering, nanomaterials, biomaterials, and photonics. Earlier experience at West Point shaped a disciplined, mission-driven approach to technical problem-solving.
At Johns Hopkins, I developed and executed research on gel-based drug delivery systems for hemophilia treatment, where I first encountered the critical role of intellectual property in determining whether innovation reaches application or stalls in development. Combined with my research in defense-relevant materials and stealth technologies, this clarified how patent strategy defines the path from lab to impact.
Passed the USPTO Patent Bar in September 2025, with registration pending. As a Sidney B. Williams Jr. Scholar and recipient of a three-year tuition grant from the IP Law Foundation, I was selected for my commitment to patent law and potential to contribute to the field. Currently building tools that bridge technical fluency with legal precision, including an AI-powered patent law research assistant and an open-source Patent Bar study platform. I'm especially drawn to areas where complexity demands clarity—particularly in biomedical devices, defense applications, and nanoscale technologies that advance both human health and national security.
