I am a physics graduate student at the University of Rochester, and my research revolves around uncovering the exciting properties of exciton-polariton systems. I do this by combining quantum-optics theory and quantum dynamical methods to generate data, with the hope that these data can help explain several interesting experimental results in the literature.In a previous career iteration, I was an applied electromagnetic engineer who used the understanding of interactions between various electromagnetic systems (antennas, circuits, anything that scatters electromagnetic waves) to inform system engineers about the trade-offs between their system designs and environmental degradation. In my analysis, I used computational electromagnetics (CEM) software, such as Altair FEKO and Ansys HFSS, extensively to provide supporting data and visualization for my clients.
