About Me

I'm a sophomore physics major at Caltech. Very vaguely, I'm interested in building instrumentation / experimental setups for things1 that solve interesting problems.

At Caltech, I work with Professor Rana Adhikari's Experimental Gravity Group, simulating quantum states for computing and sensing at LIGO. In the Cushing Lab, I develop tools to study ion motion in solid-state electrolytes.

Before Caltech, I spent two summers in optoelectronics R&D at Sandia.

I swim on Caltech's NCAA team, make prints, take photographs, and read science fiction.
