Biography

I am a research scientist at Lightsynq Technologies, working on the development of universal optical quantum interconnects that bridge the gap to large-scale quantum computers. I received my PhD from the department of Electrical Engineering at Princeton University, working under the supervision of Prof. Nathalie de Leon. My PhD research focused on the design and fabrication of hybrid III-V on Diamond nanophotonic devices for coupling to neutral silicon vacancy (SiV0) centres in diamond.

I received my BASc in Electrical Engineering at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. My thesis work was performed under the supervision of Prof. John Madden and investigated the fabrication of soft-electronics sensors for use in a smart bedsheet. During my undergraduate studies I also worked with Jorge Santiago-Aviles at the University of Pennsylvania through an NSF REU on synthesizing biocompatible piezoelectric nanofibres for use in a novel noninvasive ear surgery procedure.
