Featured Projects
Quantum Sensing Microscopy
At Oak Ridge National Lab, I built a room-temperature quantum sensing microscope. I designed and conducted experiments to probe Johnson noise using boron vacancy centers in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN).
Purdue's Quantum Student Organization Website
As vice president, I led the redesign of Purdue's Quantum Student Organization website (from a google site) to enhance user experience, automation, security, and organizational transparency.
CrysTool Hub
I single-handedly developed a full-stack web application with publicly available tools to accelerate materials research by automating complex calculations and synthesis plans.
Twisted 2D Materials
At Purdue's Quantum Matter and Devices Group, I'm developing a method to create twisted semiconductor TMD bilayers with a manipulable twist angle, leveraging superlubricity with piezoelectricity and magnetism.

Research & Professional Experience
Sep 2025 - Present
Nanometa Group - Purdue University
Student Researcher (PI: V.M. Shalaev, A. Boltasseva, and A.V. Kildishev)
Focused on engineering novel 2D quantum materials and optical analysis of them to explore emergent phenomena. Building on my experience creating moiré superlattices from transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) to make the first controlled moirés with MXene platforms. Spearheading a project on the chemical vapor transport (CVT) synthesis of novel 2D oxyhalides (MOX2 (M=Mo, Nb, X=Cl, Br, I)), which naturally host exotic light-matter interactions such as Hyperbolic Plasmon Polaritons (HPPs). HPPs are key to new sensing techniques, overcoming the diffraction limit with superlensing, and photonics.
May 2025 - Aug 2025
