Working in the labs of Prof. Konrad Lehnert and Prof. Cindy Regal on a microwave-to-optical converter based on a silicon nitride membrane simultaneously coupled to an optical cavity and microwave circuit. My goal of my work has been:- Improving the added noise and efficiency of the system to enable quantum transduction and entanglement between the.

PhD research in the Nanoscale and Quantum Optics group with Prof. Andrei Faraon developing on-chip quantum light-matter interfaces based on nanophotonic resonators integrated with rare-earth ions embedded in solids. Highlights include:- A nanoscale quantum memory using an ensemble of neodymium ions coupled to a nanobeam cavity fabricated in the YVO host.

Portland, Oregon Area

Tutored groups of students in Freshmen and Sophomore-level physics at the Reed academic help center on a weekly basis and in a one-on-one setting by arrangement. Graded problem sets for the junior-level electrodynamics course, sophomore-level modern physics course, and the introductory general physics course.

Bethesda, MD

Worked with Dr. Justin Taraska in the Lab of Molecular and Cellular Imaging at the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. Developed methods to quantitatively map the localization of proteins to endocytic and exocytic sites within cells using evanescent field microscopy and image analysis in MATLAB.
