Noah is a Barrett Honors undergraduate student studying physics at Arizona State University. He has interests in laser physics, mathematical biology, nuclear physics, and optics. Previously he studied mathematical oncology, predicting tumor dynamics in patients with prostate cancer. Currently, he is studying pulsed-lasers with Prof. Robert Kaindl and working on the instrumentation of NV-based diamond sensing platform in the EQuBS lab.
Joined in Janurary 2025; pursuing B.S. in Mechanical Engineering
Taneesha is pursuing her B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and is part of Barrett, the Honors College. Her interests lie in manufacturing and industrial design, and she is currently working on a team that designs museum exhibitions as well as a team which is designing hardware for a water quality monitoring device. In the EQuBS lab, she is working on the instrumentation for diamond quantum sensing. In the future, she hopes to obtain a Masters in Design Engineering. Outside of school, Taneesha enjoys gardening, travelling, and baking sourdough bread.
The order of names within the same category is based on the time they joined the EQuBS lab (and how promptly they provided the relevant information).
