About me

I am a PhD-trained physicist specializing in condensed matter physics, superconducting materials, and nanoscale device fabrication. My research background combines materials growth, cleanroom fabrication, and advanced characterization techniques to understand and engineer quantum materials. I have experience with thin-film deposition, nanofabrication processes, and electrical, structural, and magnetic measurements. Outside the laboratory, I enjoy painting, reading, and exploring science communication. I created this website as a place to share my scientific interests, research experiences, and explanations of physics concepts and experimental techniques.

From Condensed Matter Physics to Quantum Technology

My journey as a physicist has taken me from studying fundamental properties of quantum materials to developing practical skills in fabrication, characterization, and process engineering. During my PhD, I worked on superconducting materials and investigated quantum phenomena in electron-doped cuprates. This experience introduced me to the complete experimental workflow, from thin-film growth and device fabrication to low-temperature transport measurements and advanced characterization techniques. My transition into industry allowed me to apply this scientific background to real-world challenges in nanofabrication and semiconductor technologies. I continue to explore the connection between materials science, device engineering, and emerging quantum technologies through my work and personal projects.
