Think. Create. Innovate.
I’m an optical engineer working on problems across optics, photonics, and computation.
I currently work at Irradiant Technologies on optical interconnects and optical packaging towards next-generation high-speed communication systems. Before that, I worked at Momentum Optics, where I helped build an At-Focus Scanning Ptychography (AFSP) system for optical surface characterization and process feedback.
I did my PhD at the University of Utah, where I worked on flat optics, computational imaging, and integrated photonics. A common theme across all of my work is using inverse design, computational methods, and machine learning to build systems with improved size, weight, power, and cost.
Questions I’m currently thinking about
- How much optical complexity can we trade for computation before the overall imaging system actually stops getting simpler?
- How do we scale optical interconnects to higher bandwidth densities without letting power, packaging complexity, and manufacturability become the bottlenecks?
