I am a 3rd year PhD student in Prof. Keren Bergman’s lab at Columbia University studying silicon photonics.  My research focuses on device and link designs for dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) co-packaged transceivers.

I graduated with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of California, Irvine in 2020 with a minor in Material Science.  

During my undergraduate, I was a superuser at the university cleanroom and I interned at Ayar Labs for 2 summers as a Test Development Engineer where I designed and built two test stations for laser and photonic dies.

In 2021 during a co-op at Elenion (now Nokia), I worked in the Silicon Photonics Design Team where I designed, taped-out, and measuring passive photonic devices for coherent transceivers.

I also enjoy photography, 3D modeling, and I am currently training for the 2023 New York City Marathon in November.
