About

I am an electrical engineering PhD candidate in the Quantum Defect Lab headed by Prof. Kai-Mei Fu at the University of Washington.

In the spring of 2020, I graduated from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa with a BS in electrical engineering and minor in physics. While an undergraduate, I was a member of the Liquid Metal Electronics Lab co-advised by Prof. Wayne Shiroma and Prof. Aaron Ohta. I also spent two summers working under Prof. Vinod Menon of the City College of New York's Laboratory for Nano and Microphotonics (LaNMP), one of which as a participant of Columbia University's MRSEC REU.

I am very fortunate to be a recipient of the 2020 National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship. While an undergraduate at the University of Hawaii, I was a Regents Scholar.

My doctoral research is primarily focused on the modeling, engineering, and realization of hybrid-integrated photonic elements for quantum networking with color centers in diamond. More broadly, my research interests lie at the intersection of the physics and engineering of quantum systems; spanning from investigations of the underlying physics, to the modeling and realization of quantum technologies.
