I am a fourth year undergraduate student studying Engineering Physics. My undergraduate thesis involves the design of a nanoscale photonic cavity system for enhanced resonant excitation of a quantum dot. I am generally interested in optics and photonics, and love to learn about different applications of light as a tool, from lasers to qubits. I like to keep busy by playing lots of different sports and getting outside as much as possible to cycle, ski, and hike.
