Academic Background

Institution: University of Rochester

Expected Year of Graduation: July 2024

Thesis Title: Photophysical Properties of Exciton–Polaritons in Nanocrystal–Cavity System

Thesis Advisor: Professor Todd D. Krauss

Research: Studied the photophysical properties of light–matter quasiparticles, known as exciton–polaritons, through strong coupling between electronic states of CdSe nanocrystals and photons confined within an optical cavity. Employed thin-film deposition techniques to fabricate the samples and performed spectral measurements using a Fourier-space imaging system. Validated the design through optical simulations in Lumerical and modeled the experimental data in MATLAB.
