Originally from San Diego, I now live in Santa Barbara, CA where I co-founded the industrial software company CrossnoKaye. I received my PhD in Applied Physics from Harvard University in 2017 where I studied under Prof. Philip Kim researching low dimensional systems in collaboration with Raytheon BBN's Quantum Information Processing group lead by Dr. KC Fong. My doctoral thesis, titled "Electronic Thermal Conductivity of graphene via Electrical Noise", focused on the use of radio-frequency noise as a probe for thermal transport in Van der Waals heterostructures. I received my master's degree from Harvard University in the Spring of 2013 for my work in Atomic and Molecular Physics and my bachelor's degree in Physics from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2010 where I worked for Professor S. James Allen. With the guidance of Professor Allen and Dr. Gregory Dyer, I worked to couple terahertz radiation into the plasmon modes of GaAs heterostructures, aiding in the design of tunable narrowband FIR sensors. Between undergraduate and graduate school, I accepted a full time position as a staff scientist in Prof. Deborah Fygenson's lab engineering liposome based anti-virals targeting influenza.
