Austin obtained his BS in Physics and Applied Mathematics from Johns Hopkins University in 2019. Before joining the Sun group as a physics PhD student in 2021, Austin researched and tested military optics at the Department of Defense. He has previously conducted research in Raman spectroscopy, CO₂ laser design and fabrication, and big data analysis.
