“How many kingdoms know us not!” — Pascal
I am a physics and electrical engineering student at the University of Minnesota, particularly interested in the scalable control of Rydberg-atom quantum systems, microwave photonics, and integrated circuits for quantum sensing and precision metrology. I currently work at POSM and the MTP Lab.

Outside of the lab, I write poetry and prose, play guitar, and practice calligraphy. I like old films where very little happens, songs that sound like they were recorded in the wrong room, books with suspicious underlining, and people who become briefly unbearable when explaining something they love.
