I am an undergraduate Electrical Engineering student at UC Irvine, where I conduct research at the intersection of photonics and machine learning. My current research focuses on the computational design of freeform metasurfaces using generative diffusion models, developing data-driven frameworks to engineer nanophotonic structures with tailored optical responses.
What drives me is the opportunity to venture into uncharted territory, pushing into problems where the answers don't exist yet.
Outside of research, I am drawn to the same spirit of discovery in entrepreneurship and finance: fields where bold ideas and calculated risks shape what's possible.
