I am a Quantum Research Scientist at the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Center for Quantum Networking. My broad area of research is quantum optics and atomic physics, where my research interests span the fields of quantum networks, quantum nanophotonics, spin defects in solids, and quantum information processing.

Previously,  I was a Postdoctoral Scholar in Prof. David Awschalom's group at The University of Chicago, where I worked with individually-addressed spin qubits in silicon carbide. I received my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering (2021) from Princeton University in the field of quantum information science and engineering, advised by Prof. Jeff Thompson. In Thompson lab, I worked on engineering control over individual erbium ions (doped in a crystalline host) using silicon nanophotonic circuits. Potentially, this system can be used as single photon sources and quantum memories operating at telecom wavelength for quantum communication network applications. For further details, please refer to the Research and Publications tabs and my Google Scholar page.

Prior to joining Princeton University, I graduated from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur with a B.S. and M.S. in Physics (2015).
