  My research was focused on developing superconducting radio frequency (SRF) microwave cavities for macroscopic optomechanics. Simply stated, we inject a certain wavelength of light (microwaves) and allow them to build up (resonate) within these structures. With large enough quality factors (a measure of energy stored vs energy lost), the light actually has enough pressure to manipulate mechanical oscillators - such as amplifying or damping motion. The devices have applications in metrology… Show more My research was focused on developing superconducting radio frequency (SRF) microwave cavities for macroscopic optomechanics. Simply stated, we inject a certain wavelength of light (microwaves) and allow them to build up (resonate) within these structures. With large enough quality factors (a measure of energy stored vs energy lost), the light actually has enough pressure to manipulate mechanical oscillators - such as amplifying or damping motion. The devices have applications in metrology, cavity quantum electrodynamics, and quantum information science. My past responsibilities include research and teaching. I arranged the opportunity to move and conduct research in Perth, Western Australia for three months. I strengthened my skills and understanding in the areas of microwave interferometry, optomechanics, and bulk acoustic wave devices. I taught multiple introductory physics and calculus discussion sections at the university. Show less



The University of Western Australia

• Australia
• Higher Education
• 700 & Above Employee

• Visiting Researcher

  • Sep 2019 - Nov 2019

  Perth, Australia I was a visiting graduate student at the University of Western, Australia in Perth, Australia with the ARC Centre of Excellence for Engineered Quantum Systems under the joint guidance of Dr Michael Tobar and Dr Jay Sharping. We investigated the influence of the thermal Casimir force with microwave re-entrant cavities and its exciting applications to develop arbitrary topological mechanical oscillators.



Jet Propulsion Laboratory

• Engineering Student in Photonics and Laser Applications

  • Jun 2011 - Aug 2015

  Pasadena, CA, USA I gained the experience and knowledge of working with optics, heterodyne interferometry, lasers, metrology, LabVIEW (interfacing with data acquisition instruments), and MATLAB programming.



Murillo Family Observatory

• Student Technician

  • 2011 - May 2014

  California State University San Bernardino I helped operate the newly built observatory on CSUSB campus doing tasks such as building cables, working on software communications between the telescopes and computers, installing hardware for the telescope, and imaging the sky. I have given a presentation at the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT) as well as assist with outreach opportunities for people of all ages ranging from elementary students to CSUSB alumni to formal dinners with generous benefactors.
