I am currently a doctoral candidate, in the 4th year of the Ph. D. program in Optical Sciences at the Wyant College of Optical Sciences, University of Arizona. I am affiliated with the Quantum Photonic Applications Group under the guidance of Prof. Saikat Guha. I am also a member of the NSF Engineering Research Center for Quantum Networks (CQN). 

My current research is on both discrete variable and continuous-variable quantum information processing and communication schemes, exploring near-term applications, and modeling architectures that will aid in the construction of the quantum internet of the future. 

I spent the summer of 2022 (May-Aug) and 2023 (Aug) at the Quantum Photonics Laboratory at the Research Laboratory of Electronics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) working with Dr. Kevin C. Chen, Dr. Matt Trusheim and Prof. Dirk Englund on diamond color center based spin quantum memories.
