This past month has been a (positive) whirlwind. I got selected for the 2022 Rackham One-Term Dissertation Fellowship and submitted my first patent as a co-inventor. On top of all that, not only did our paper on Imaging dynamic exciton interactions and coupling in transition metal dichalcogenides get accepted to the Journal of Chemical Physics but we also got selected as a featured article and for the cover of the special issue on Low-Dimensional Materials for Quantum Information Science.

Conference season is upon us and I couldn't be more proud to share my recent research advances on accelerated lock-in detectors for nonlinear imaging and imaging dynamics of exciton interactions and coupling in transition metal dichalcogenides at CLEO 2022 and the Conference on Ultrafast Phenomena 2022

Beyond excited to have my paper on coherent exciton-exciton interactions and exciton dynamics in TMD heterostructures published in Physical Review B. You can find the paper here. The observation of coherent coupling in these heterostructures opens exciting future avenues for quantum information applications and the thorough understanding of underlying coherent and incoherent processes that our experiment provides is key to future device applications of this group of materials!

Excuse my silence, it has been a busy few months. But I am excited to announce that my first paper, together with MONSTR Sense Technologies has been published in Optics Letters. You can find it here. I am truly looking forward to seeing where this technology is going!

This summer I participated in the NSF I-Corps program and it is an experience I would not want to miss. The months spent in the program have been some of the most challenging AND enjoyable ones of my Ph.D. The program is designed to help deep-tech-nerdy researchers like me to take technology developed in our lab and try to turn it into a commercially viable product + build an efficient business around it.

100 stakeholder interviews, watching lectures from the great Steve Blank, catching up on your readings, as well as meetings with talented peers and a great Entrepreneurship teaching team from MIT made this program quite intense. But the takeaways and learnings I got were invaluable. I met & talked to the most amazing people out there, all around the globe, and I am excited to take this knowledge and apply it in my future career, wherever it may lead me.
