I began working at Brown University in August 2015. My doctoral advisor decided to take a new position and the group moved to Brown. This was a lot of work, involving dismantling our old lab (5 optical tables worth), and setting up the new lab. Each experimental setup needed to be rebuilt after the new lab space was renovated. I spent one month with collaborators at Redstone Arsenel in Huntsville, Alabama in the midst of this renovation process, we are publishing the results of that work now.

I also run simulations for some of the lab's other projects (including our artificial dielectric devices). And do metamaterial design for other projects in the lab. Details are in my resume.

I studied at Rice University from 2011 until the move in 2015. This is when I became interested in metamaterials and when we began work on the leaky waveguide multiplexer project which we would publish later.

Here are my publications from my graduate school work. Also see the list of talks in my resume.

I served as treasurer and subsequently president of the Rice student chapter of OSA. We organized many outreach and community events (photos) with funding from OSA student grants. OSA does a great job with their commitment to students. Participating in the OSA Student Leadership Conference in 2013 was a valuable experience.

I also hosted a highschool teacher as part of the NSF-RET program to perform research in our lab over summer break. (details)

The world is advancing at an ever accelerating pace, studying the future is a personal passion. I hope that by thinking about the future we can influence the current and next generation to explore the massive technological and social changes coming in the near future.

I like making drawings and renders that make science and physics pretty.
