Set up and evaluate photonic integrated chips for stabilization of a strontium ion clock laser.
Write rubrics and grade exams and homework for introductory and honors physics courses on mechanics, waves, and electricity and magnetism.
Work under Jamie Rosenzweig and Monika Yadav. Run particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations for various plasma wakefield acceleration experiments, studying the effects of an externally applied magnetic field and ion-ion collisions on a plasma blowout.
Build and improve upon optical and electronic systems in an ion trap to promote long coherence times of a strontium ion clock for the UTC(NIST) timescale.
Virtually tutor high schoolers in math (from pre-calculus to AP BC calculus) and AP Physics.
Use cavity ring down spectroscopy to probe the recombination rate coefficient of HCO+ under different temperatures, and study other astrophysically relevant chemical processes and plasmas in cryogenic, high-vacuum systems.
Studied the laser ionization of gas for a thin, underdense, passive plasma lens to be used in place of conventional quadrupole magnets in particle accelerators.
