Sep 2020 - Dec 2020
Short term research project on developing two-photon quantum interference (TPQI) protocols to entangle Nitrogen-vacancy centres in diamond with nanobeam optomechanical resonators. I constructed and calibrated a free space optics filter cavity set up, as well as an optical fiber frequency lock setup. I ran TPQI simulations to optimise experimental settings for a maximal measurement visibility.

Graduate Researcher at LINQS
-
Sep 2019 - Aug 2020
Graduate research under Professor Safavi-Naeini at LINQS (laboratory for integrated nano-quantum systems) at Stanford. I worked on the development of stabilisation methods for nontrivial quantum states, as well as tomography schemes for systems of coupled qubits and resonators.

Summer Research Intern
-
Jun 2019 - Aug 2019
Summer research under Professor Ouerdane. Research on flywheel energy storage systems (FESS) for long time energy storage and grid stabilization applications and produced an 11 page report. I collaborated with a team on research on reconstruction of quantum states with generative machine learning models, and contributed to the coding of the algorithm and helped write a scientific paper to be published in Entropy.

-
Sep 2018 - Jun 2019
Undergraduate research under Professor Safavi-Naeini at LINQS (laboratory for integrated nano-quantum systems) at Stanford. I worked on the design and development of nanomechanical resonators to be used as Purcell filters for the extension of qubit lifetimes. I mainly worked on simulations using Matlab and Comsol, and also helped with experimental measurements. This work resulted in a scientific paper with a preprint in May 2019.

Residential Community Manager
-
Apr 2018 - Jun 2019
Responsible for working with Stanford Residential Education to foster a strong house community through creative programming. I oversaw and managed the organisation of social and philanthropy events, both within the residential community as well as the greater Stanford community. I made, together with a team, housing decisions as the main channel of communication between Residential Education/Stanford University and the housing community.

Jul 2017 - Sep 2017
Development of a proof of concept for the integration of laser based zero force touch technology with touch screens on TomTom personal navigation devices. The main area of focus was the intersection between PCB-based electrical engineering and low-level driver coding. I worked with I2C communication protocols and driver coding in C language, as well as developed and ran a test plan for usability and precision control.

Jan 2016 - Jun 2017
SNF (Stanford Nanofabrication Facility) undergraduate monitoring organisation staff responsible for the monitoring of wafer dry etching systems such as AMTetcher, Gasonics and Matrix at the SNF, one of the University's clean rooms. I ran monthly qualification checks on these devices and measured performance and precision.

Remote Monitoring System Development Intern
-
Jun 2016 - Aug 2016
Development and implementation of a remote monitoring system module in micro hydro power plants as part of Stanford’s ESW (Engineers for a Sustainable World) program, using Particle's Electron, a low-cost IoT solution. This system allowed IBEKA to track in real time the performance of their hydro plants throughout Indonesia. I worked with and developed PCBs.
