About

I am a staff scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the Quantum Coherent Device Physics Group (quantum.llnl.gov). I completed my PhD in Applied Physics from Colorado School of Mines in 2023, advised by Eliot Kapit. My thesis focused on the design of tunable couplers for 2D and 3D superconducting circuits and materials loss measurements for superconducting quantum computing.

In my free time, I enjoy rock climbing, backpacking, cooking, volunteering in STEM and outdoor communities, and playing various musical instruments.
