Success in farming requires a results-oriented mindset using effective time and resource management to accomplish farm duties. In addition to these, performing mechanical work on complex farm machinery has allowed me to hone diagnostic, repair, and fabrication skills.
During my time as an engineer in the inlets and exhaust systems department at GE Aviation, I worked with high-temperature mechanically-tough ceramic composite materials, including finding ways to successfully pattern resistive and conductive materials, despite their rough and cracked surfaces.
Researched spin coherence in semiconductors using optical techniques in David Awschalom's lab. •Built custom cryogenic scanning confocal optical systems for time-resolved measurements of spin dynamics •Demonstrated the coherent coupling of light to a single NV center spin in diamond for pioneering measurements in its control and readout •Helped find and subsequently study optically addressable spin coherence in silicon carbide defects •Held successful collaborations towards mutual research goals •Trained and mentored numerous graduate students within the group
