Cora graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2015 with a BS in Physics. In the Atwater group, she studied two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides for applications to solar cells. Cora received her PhD in Physics in 2022. Aside from physics, Cora enjoys running, ceramics, board games, and time with friends and family.
