I am an Optical Engineering undergraduate at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, interested in computational optics, optical design, and quantum sensing.
I use modeling and simulation to understand how optical systems and solid-state defects behave, then turn the results into clear technical explanations.
- Extending and validating an exact geometric ray tracer for spherical optical systems
- Studying point defects in hexagonal boron nitride for quantum sensing using spin-polarized DFT
- Developing stronger skills in optical design, metrology, and experimental analysis
