Projects

Open-source 3-axis motorized quantum state visualizer with Qiskit integration

Founded and lead a 12-student multidisciplinary hardware engineering team building a motorized 3-axis physical Bloch sphere hardware platform. Features continuous gimbal rotation, optical feedback, and real-time serial interfacing with Qiskit quantum circuit simulations to bring abstract quantum states into tactile physical reality.

Optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) microscope for 2D spin defects

Designed, machined, and calibrated a compact room-temperature quantum sensing microscope at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Utilizes green laser excitation (532 nm) and high-NA optical collection to interrogate shallow boron vacancy spin defects in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) to measure nanoscale Johnson noise and magnetic fields.

Computational materials science platform for crystal synthesis and stoichiometry

Architected and deployed an open-source full-stack platform used by materials scientists and crystal growers. Automates complex multi-element stoichiometric calculations, flux ratios, furnace thermal ramping profiles, and chemical vapor transport (CVT) ampoule designs.

Manipulable twist-angle 2D TMD heterostructures utilizing incommensurate interfaces

Investigated methods to dynamically tune the relative twist angle of semiconductor transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) bilayers in situ. Leveraged inter-layer structural superlubricity and piezoelectric/magnetic actuation to manipulate moiré superlattices and electronic band structures without destructive re-fabrication.

Modern digital infrastructure for Purdue's 500+ member quantum club

Engineered and maintained the digital hub for Purdue's premiere quantum community. Built automated event registration, research project showcase, quantum resource directory, and member security systems.
