About
My research deals with designing quantum-limited amplifiers for applications across the microwave and millimeter-wave bands, about 5-100 GHz. This technology finds use on ground-based telescopes; in the measurement of single photons and quantum states; and in the search for dark matter.
Previously, I worked at the Quantum Nanoelectronics Laboratory at UC Berkeley as a research and development engineer, where I designed amplifiers and wrote software for quantum computing.
