About
I am an Associate Scientist at Fermilab investigating superconducting resonators and transmons through the use of electron microscopy and other advanced materials characterization techniques. I previously obtained my PhD in Materials Science and Engineering at Northwestern University. My thesis research focused on studying two-dimensional materials for next generation electronic device applications as part of the Vinayak Dravid research group. I also worked at ASM America as a Sr. Process Engineer in the area of Atomic Layer Deposition.
