About Me
I am a sophomore at Caltech majoring in physics. I am interested in developing the robust instrumentation and techniques required for quantum sensing, quantum computing, solid-state electrolytes, nuclear fusion, among many other emerging technological paradigms. So far, I have worked in Caltech's Experimental Gravity Group, under Professor Rana Adhikari, where I simulate quantum states useful for real-world quantum computing. I also work in the Cushing Lab, where I develop spectroscopic instrumentation and techniques to study how ions interact and move in solid-state electrolytes. Before Caltech, I spent two summers in an optoelectronics R&D lab at Sandia National Labs under Dr. Darwin Serkland and Dr. Alejandro Griñe.
Outside the lab, I compete on Caltech's NCAA swim team and enjoy photography, printmaking, and reading science fiction.
