I use quantum sensing with NV centers in diamond to study magnetic phases of 2D condensed matter systems. Specifically, I use coherent NV spin manipulation techniques to study the decoherence of NV spin qubits in the presentence of fluctuating magnetic phases in 2D magnetic materials (see here for recent work: https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.05614). I am excited about pursuing new directions in spin qubit sensing and control.

My research focused on studying semiconductor photophysics (electron-phonon coupling, non-equilibrium electron dynamics) using ultrafast and non-linear laser spectroscopy techniques.

My PhD research focused on studying exciton photophysics and charge carrier recombination dynamics in organic and hybrid perovskite semiconductors for optoelectronic device technologies using electro-optical modulation spectroscopy, time resolved optical spectroscopy, and optoelectronic device spectroscopy. I used electric-field modulation spectroscopy to determine the room temperature binding energy of Wannier excitons in hybrid perovskite semiconductors by analyzing the electro-optical response with numerical simulations. I used time resolved optical spectroscopies (time resolved photoluminescence) and optoelectronic device spectroscopy (electroluminescence and photocurrent spectroscopy) to correlate charge carrier dynamics with optoelectronic device efficiency limits in polymer:small molecule organic semiconductor blends. I used electric-field modulation spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy to correlate structural order of polymer semiconductor thin films with exciton delocalization and oscillator strength. I designed, built, and maintained numerous automated set ups for optoelectronic device characterization (LEDs, photovoltaics) in user facilities at University of Washington.
