I am a graduating Ph.D. candidate in the Photonic Systems Group at McGill University, with industry experience in both device- and system-level design, simulation, and testing of photonic integrated circuits, including applications in photonic hardware accelerators and datacom. I have over 4 years of experience as an electronic hardware design engineer, where I actively participated in every project phase—from conceptual design (and, at times, even feasibility studies, market research, and analysis of consumer electronic products) to the system integration and testing of large electromechanical systems.I possess a strong ability to manage multiple projects on tight schedules, along with excellent written and verbal communication skills, especially regarding design flow and documentation. I am a collaborative team player who thrives in fast-paced environments.
