Research

At Caltech’s Experimental Gravity Group, I work with Professor Rana Adhikari to simulate photonic quantum states for quantum computing and sensing at LIGO. The work includes optical circuits modeled under photon loss and noise.

At the Cushing Lab, I develop spectroscopic instrumentation and techniques for studying ion motion in solid-state electrolytes. My projects have included modeling Na3PS4 with density functional theory and building a Peltier-cooled sample stage for temperature-dependent impedance spectroscopy.

I spent two summers in an optoelectronics R&D lab. Projects included a piezo-tunable etalon for chip-scale atomic clocks, VCSEL characterization, and an external-cavity diode laser for antireflection-coating evaluation.
