I am a third-year Physics PhD student at the University of Oregon, advised by Steven van Enk. I did my undergrad at Weber State University in Physics and Applied Mathematics, where I was advised by Daniel V. Schroeder.

The image shows me with some of my 'academic older siblings' at the SQuInT 2022 workshop (left to right: me, Chris, Tzula).

Research Interests

I am interested in quantum information science, specifically I am interested in quantum computing, quantum transduction, and quantum measurement.

The above animation shows a Gaussian wave packet scattering off my name modeled as a constant potential barrier.

In physics

• I've been working on Quantum State Transfer and Input-Output Theory with Time-Reversal at the University of Oregon with Steven van Enk. See the preprint on arXiv, and stay posted for an updated version.
• In the summer of 2019 I worked on the Decoherence of Open Systems of Coupled Oscillators and Qubits in Physics REU program at Brigham Young University.
• At my undergrad, Weber State University, I worked with Daniel Schroeder on the project Quantum Matrix Diagonalization Visualized (inspired by Bruce R. Thomas). See the related paper in the American Journal of Physics, where our work made it onto the cover (imaged), or find the preprint on arXiv. Here is a related web app I made.

Otherwise

• I enjoy climbing, skateboarding, hiking, and generally being outdoors.
• I solve and occasionally make Sudoku puzzles (click to see more)

  My puzzles:

  • Give a Knight a Bow
  • Kaleidoscope
  • Dead or Alive
  • Monarch
  • Merry Spider
