EXPERIENCE
09/'08 - present
Graduate Student, Jelena Vuckovic Group
Researcher in the nanoscale and quantum photonics laboratory at Ginzton Laboratory in Stanford University. Work focuses on active silicon photonics devices, CMOS compatible lasers for on-chip communications, tapered optical fibers for coupling light into nanoscale cavities, and quantum information processing
05/'07 - 08/'07
Technical Intern, MITRE Corporation
Performed a study on photonic crystal filter structures for monolithic, multi-band spectral filtering. Designed optimized filters using rigorous coupled-wave analysis code in MATLAB. Developed preliminary model for a multi-band filter adapted to measure eye oxygenation through spectral reflectance of light from the eye
09/'05 - 05/'08
Undergraduate Researcher, University of Virginia Electrical Engineering
Researcher in molecular self-assembly project involving surface chemistry and characterization of silicon surfaces. Developed adapted chemical synthesis procedures and performed X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry experiments. Funded by an NSF Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) grant and two University of Virginia Harrison research grants.
