Hello and welcome to my humble homepage!

I’m currently a staff research engineer with Intel Foundry Technology Research, but over the last decade, I’ve worn the hats of a semiconductor physicist, a dancer/choreographer, a software engineer, a quantum information theorist, and an electrical engineer.

In 2014, I graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a bachelor’s degree in physics. I immediately joined the Advanced Development group at Analog Devices in Wilmington, MA, where I ran, designed, and/or supported several modelling, software, and research projects over the course of a year. Then in the Fall of 2015, I began my doctoral studies in Engineering Physics (focusing on electrical materials) at Cornell University in gorgeous Ithaca, NY.

During my PhD with the Jena-Xing Laboratory, I conducted both experimental research/fabrication as well as theoretical and computational analysis, focusing mainly on p-channel Gallium Nitride devices. As part of my research, I led a project in collaboration with Intel Corporation, and over the summers I took internships at both Analog Devices and Google X.

After graduating in Spring 2020, I joined Intel Components Research in Hillsboro, OR, where I’ve supported semiconductor device engineering and characterization, electrical test and laboratory automation, and PDK development and modelling of all sorts, with a focus on enabling Gallium Nitride.

This website will serve to collect academic works from many classes, projects, and jobs together under one roof. Please feel free to browse around and/or contact me if anything interests you!
