• Designed and implemented a control system to create a GPS-disciplined FPGA clock for next-generation SiP/SoC devices with errors down to 1e-6 seconds.
• Leveraged scikit-learn to train machine learning models for phishing email detection, achieving a 99% accuracy

Worked on disciplining the clocks of two Red Pitaya FPGAs to be used to entangle photons

Stanford, CA, US

• Leveraged scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) to study the electronic and structural properties of tungsten ditilluride
• Calibrated tip quality and prepared tungsten ditelluride samples for STM scans
• Confirmed previous experimental results suggesting tungsten ditelluride is a Weyl semimetal and visualized results in MATLAB
• Delivered a talk at the virtual Leadership Alliance National Symposium through the SR-EIP program and a poster presentation at Stanford's research symposium

• Assisted with construction, alignment, and verification of the second harmonic generation (SHG) and optical parametric oscillator (OPO) cavities that generate entangled photons in compact squeezed light source experiment
• Calibrated photodetectors used throughout experiment setup
• Aligned optics to maximize the output power and calculated the expected output power behavior

San Carlos, California, US

• Managed inventory on the Airtable platform
• Prepared equipment used for RT-LAMP testing

CA, US

• Used Verilog to create a digital interface used to keep track of time and a 32-bit digital counter to record cosmic ray event timestamps accurate to 10^(-8) of a second
• Simulated the designs on ModelSim for analysis and debugging
• Presented at APS April Meeting 2021

San Carlos, California, US

• Developed a database of Emergency Use Authorizations published by labs across the country for PCR testing of the SARS-CoV-2 virus
• Designed and implemented a prototype application for iOS
• Studied the impacts of pool testing and the effects of low and high sensitivity SARS-CoV-2 virus tests

• Developed educational materials to teach high school students the process of building an 8-bit breadboard computer consisting of the clock, program counter (PC), registers, random access memory (RAM), bus, and central.
• Hosted office hours to guide students through building the 8-bit breadboard computer and troubleshoot errors
