Engineering Physics / Photonics / Cryogenics / Simulation

I am an Engineering Physics student building a portfolio around photonics, quantum dots, cryogenic systems, scientific computing, simulation, and technical writing. This site is a home base for projects, notes, experiments, and the occasional carefully organized deep dive.

portfolio/projects

Things to expand

portfolio

Quantum dot Schrodinger/QCSE solver

A scientific computing project for modeling confined quantum states and field-dependent behavior in semiconductor nanostructures.

team project

Hyperloop design team

Hands-on engineering work across analysis, documentation, prototyping, and the practical tradeoffs of student design teams.

lab notes

Cryogenics and detector lab interests

An active interest area around low-temperature systems, measurement, instrumentation, and detector-adjacent lab work.

experience

Engineering work experience

Industry and technical work experience that ties together problem solving, communication, and reliable execution.

homepage modules

Loose ends

blog/recent posts

Recent notes

Placeholder for short technical notes, course-adjacent thoughts, build logs, and useful references.

open notebook

guestbook

Guestbook

Old-web guestbook space. Maybe a static note wall later, maybe just a strange little archive.

newsletter/update

Updates

A future place for quiet project updates. No signup machinery yet; static site first.

coin_toss.exe

Coin Toss

Placeholder for a tiny interactive decision machine: heads, tails, or ask the lab notebook.

hidden note

Easter Egg

A reserved panel for a hidden note, keyboard thing, or small personal artifact.

ascii scraps

ASCII Area

Replace this with a diagram, portrait, circuit doodle, or other handmade text object.

now

Currently working on

Building out this website, refining project writeups, and keeping a sharper record of simulation work, lab interests, useful books, and technical notes.

01 Quantum dot modeling notes

02 Portfolio project summaries

03 Reading list and bookshelf entries
