I am currently a Senior R&D Physicist at Rydberg Technologies. My research interests lie broadly in the areas of quantum optics and quantum information. I have been investigating the most fundamental properties of light and atoms at submicroscopic levels, and how such properties can be harnessed for new science and technology.
My current research focuses on pushing the sensitivity limit for quantum RF sensing with Rydberg atomic vapor. I enjoy the environment in which I am able to develop my expertise to real-world applications, both defense and commercial applications.
