About
I am interested in photonics and the application of deep learning & AI to significant human problems
At Colorado School of Mines I studied engineering physics and spent most of my time in optics. After Mines, I Joined the Bouma lab at the Wellman Center for Photomedicine where I conducted researich in optical imaging methods. I am currently at the University of Colorado Boulder pursuing a physics PhD focusinc on quantum photonics and photonic integrated circuits.
