Exploration.


My specialty: Probing physical systems and asking the right questions. Given enough time, of course.

Cd3As2 Epitaxial Films

In high school, I spent some time helping to study systematically strained nanometer-scale films of cadmium arsenide grown in ultrahigh vacuum, one of the recently uncovered class of topological Dirac semimetals.

Oxygen-lean Torrefied Biomass

The smelliest project I've worked on so far. For a couple months, I overhauled the data acquisition system for an experimental reactor designed to make biochar in the field.

Shattering Deuterium Neon

It turns out the best known way to safely shut down a large fusion reactor that's lost plasma stability is to shove in a bunch of ice. Sort of. It also turns out this is a very hard thing to do in a controlled way. I studied this process, and to that end developed this monstrosity.

Carbon Capture Enhanced

This one's exciting, because I'm starting off with "absolutely no idea" what I'm doing. Stay tuned.

Coming soon!
