I support, troubleshoot, and help develop ellipsometry-based metrology tools such as Onto Innovation's ATLAS product line.

James C. Wyant College Of Optical Sciences

I worked toward comparing wavefront sensing techniques using numerical simulations in the field of remote sensing. In particular, I simulated an Earth-observing satellite optical system which includes atmospheric effects and realistic detector noise sources to study wavefront sensing technique performance in comparison to the canonical wavefront sensor in.

Steward Observatory/ James C. Wyant College Of Optical Sciences

I focused on the the design, fabrication and testing, and system integration of coronagraphic focal plane masks for exoplanet imaging at the Subaru telescope in Hawaii. In simulation I showed wavefront control solutions for improved coronagraphic performance for these fabricated focal plane masks. Furthermore I simulated coronagraph designs for LUVOIR and.

Tucson, Arizona Area

I completed courses in a wide array of topics in optics while learning to conduct research as a part of Dr. Olivier Guyon's research group in Steward Observatory. These include Lens Design and Systems Engineering courses (OPTI 517 and 524A), Adaptive Optics (OPTI 528), Image Processing (OPTI/ECE 532), and many others. The focus of my research was learning.
