I’m available for opportunities during Summer 2026. But, I also have limited availability in Irvine in Winter through Spring 2026.

  • Current member of an experimental condensed matter physics lab, worked previously on a paid fellowship.

  • Prior internship in FDA-regulated IVD R&D

  • Considerable experience in engineering

  • U.S. Citizen

  • For a full list, refer to my resume

I’m looking for opportunities both internally at Irvine and externally in the United States, including both industrial and academic settings.

  • Seeking SURF/REU programs

    • SURF/REU in Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics

    • Open to computational or other physics and engineering opportunities at academic institutions

  • Seeking internships

    • Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering

    • Open to Quantitative Finance and some software
