Selected research and engineering projects.

Projects are framed as reusable scientific infrastructure: simulation, layout, device design, and emitter-analysis workflows that support quantum-photonics experiments.

Scientific infrastructure, not just finished demos.

The project page now explains what the projects are for before listing individual snapshots.

Build

Reusable workflows for photonic experiments

The central theme is building tools that connect molecular materials, nanophotonic design, and cryogenic measurements. Simulation scripts, GDS workflows, and analysis utilities are valuable when they make a DBT:anthracene cavity experiment easier to design, fabricate, diagnose, or interpret.

Validate

Connect models to measurable quantities

Each project is strongest when it connects directly to a physical observable such as linewidth, spectral wandering, Purcell factor, cooperativity, β-factor, far-field collection, cavity transmission, or temporal dynamics. The goal is to avoid attractive but untestable models.

Fabricate

Keep fabrication constraints visible

Device-design projects are treated as process-aware engineering problems. Ring widths, etch depths, masks, crystal thickness, spacer layers, PVA compatibility, alignment, metrology, and material stacks are part of the design space, not afterthoughts.

Iterate

Close the loop between code and lab

The best workflow is cyclic: grow or prepare the emitter material, simulate the optical device, layout and fabricate the chip, position the crystal, measure the optical response, then update the model. That loop is the organizing principle behind the cavity, microlens, and multi-emitter dynamics projects.

Circular Bragg Grating Cavity

Designed and simulated cavity geometries for molecular emitters, with emphasis on emission enhancement, upward collection, and fabrication-aware radial Bragg / bullseye-style structures that can be connected to measurable cavity-QED observables.

02
2025

Microlens Two-Photon Polymerization Design

Engineered and optimized freeform microlens arrays for femtosecond laser-based two-photon polymerization fabrication.

Multi-Emitter Temporal Dynamics Solver

Developed a simulation tool to model and analyze time-resolved emission dynamics of interacting quantum emitters, including the intuition needed for collective decay, spectral tuning, and cavity-mediated molecular interactions.
