- I am a senior undergraduate student and a Schulich Scholar at the University of Toronto studying Engineering Science with a focus on physics and electrical engineering.
- I am fortunate to have been advised by Prof. Karl Berggren at MIT, Prof. Adrian Lupascu at the University of Waterloo, and Prof. Nazir Kherani at my home institution.
- My research interests lie at the intersection materials and devices for both quantum and neuromorphic computing.
