About Me
I am an undergraduate student at the University of Toronto, pursuing a Bachelor of Applied Science in Engineering Physics.
I am a Quantum Hardware RA in the Lukin Group at Harvard University, developing control systems for neutral-atom quantum computing. Previously, I worked in the Qian Lab and Braverman Lab at the University of Toronto. My research interests lie at the intersection of quantum optics, photonics, and quantum computation hardware.

Conference PosterResearch Experience
Quantum Hardware RA
- Developing control system for qLDPC error correction on a neutral-atom array.
- Developed an AWG-based RF control system for optical-tweezer manipulation and gate operations, achieving 200 μs command-to-output latency.
Quantum Photonics RA
- Generated hyperentangled photon pairs via type-0 SPDC in periodically poled silica fiber.
- Designed an optical coincidence counting pipeline using Excelitas SPCM and IDQube single-photon counting modules.
- Programmed a quantum state tomography pipeline in Python, including maximum-likelihood density-matrix reconstruction and entanglement-metric evaluation.
- Designed a TTL gating circuit to generate RF gating pulses for photon detector.
Quantum Optics RA
- Simulated Hermite–Gaussian propagation and optimized spatial-filter parameters using SciPy dual annealing, achieving >95% HG0 mode fidelity in simulation.
- Constructed a Mach–Zehnder interferometer to perform holography of the filtered spatial mode
- Designed a low-vibration mechanical optical shutter with 8 ms switching period and closed loop feedback calibration.
QuDiffuse ML Project Lead
- Led QuDiffuse, investigating quantum annealing and restricted Boltzmann machines for diffusion-model training.
- Awarded “Most Innovative Project” at UTMIST 2025 Showcase.
Research Supervisor
- Mentored Canada’s national physics team for IYPT 2024 and 2025; the team earned bronze medals in both years.
Teaching
I actively mentor student researchers and contribute to technical training programs through camp supervision and structured lectures. I document my school notes in the Notes section, and I document interesting findings in the Blog Section.
