Research

I am an experimentalist whose research focuses on optomechanical systems as precision probes for fundamental physics. At Berkeley Lab, I am part of the QuIPS experiment  where a levitated nanoparticle platform is used as an impulse sensor of nuclear decays.

Prior to joining QuIPS, I completed my PhD at University of Arizona's Quantum Optomechanics Lab, where we developed a membrane-based optomechanical accelerometer platform for ultralight dark matter searches.

My research: Google Scholar.
