What I'm looking for

I seek research-heavy roles that blend physics and ML, with collaborative teams, hands-on experiments, and opportunities to build applied AI systems for scientific discovery.

I am a physicist and AI/ML researcher with a PhD in Optics and multidisciplinary experience across photonics, gravitational-wave physics, and scientific machine learning. I combine deep domain knowledge—from nanophotonics and interferometry to experimental data extraction—with practical skills in ML model evaluation, RLHF workflows, and scientific software.

My work includes developing ML-integrated optical computing systems, creating benchmarks from peer-reviewed experimental data, and conducting experimental and simulation research in photonic microstructures and gravitational-wave detection. I deliver cross-disciplinary solutions, mentor and teach, and thrive on projects that connect fundamental physics with applied AI engineering.
