Currently an aspiring research engineer/scientist in the Chicago area. I work on FPGAs in the control stack for superconducting quantum computers at SQMS Fermilab.My areas of concentration for my Ph.D. are Quantum Computing, FPGA applications and prototyping, Digital Signal Processing, Machine Learning, implementing Neural Networks at the edge on low latency designs, and firmware/hardware design. I am proficient in VHDL, Verilog, Python, C/C++, and EDA tools. I also have experience in computational physics using OpenMP and MPI on supercomputers for parallelizing computations. I have also been a performing musician in the greater Minneapolis area since 2011 and in Chicago since 2017 and am a DIY music enthusiast in my free time...Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering (Expected 2025)M.S. in Electrical Engineering (2021)B.S. in Physics and Computer Science, Minor in Mathematics (2020)
