I build micro- and nano-scale devices.

At these scales, I find ways to create new structures and integrate components more densely, in order to unlock new functionalities, performances, costs or interesting physics.

Of my particular interest is interdisciplinary problems where an inventive use of the tools and techniques of nanotechnology constitutes a core innovation.

I am currently a doctoral candidate at ETH Zurich, working on neuro-electronic interface. Most recently, at Rigetti Quantum Computing, I developed a new superconducting through-silicon-via technology to scale quantum computing chips. Other productive projects I have worked on include interconnect method for piezoresistive sensors and scaling optical MEMS arrays. I hold a BS in Electrical Engineering from UCLA and a MS in Mechanical Engineering from Columbia, where I wrote my thesis on suspended optomechanical membranes. 

At the heart of my values are curiosity for its own sake and creativity in service of social good. I cultivate and apply a broad and diverse scientific background spanning microelectromechanical systems, nano-photonics, cavity optomechanics, and quantum mechanics; and I am currently learning cell biology. My toolkit includes micro- and nanofabrication, plus statistical and numerical methods.
