July 2024 – Aug. 2025
Designing nanostructured arrays for ultrafast surface-enhanced spectroscopies of EUV photoresists. Spent a year inside of Lumerical FDTD. Some manual cleanroom work (dicing wafers, spin-coating resists on coupons) and exposing coupons to EUV radiation.

Research Intern – imec
February 2024 – May 2024
Worked on a design for a holographic reconstruction apparatus by using a phase light modulator.

Thesis Student – SABCA
August 2022 – May 2023
Created an RTL design in VHDL that executes the control systems implemented on the Control Loop Processor (CLP) for a thrust vector control system. Target: Microsemi IGLOO2 FPGA. Implemented peripherals to communicate with an onboard computer (MIL-STD-1553 RT using an IP core) and to perform data acquisition (ADC and SPI). Conducted performance and output comparisons with a cycle-accurate model of the CLP with testbenches developed in SystemVerilog simulated in ModelSim

Avionics Software Engineering Intern – ScioTeq
July 2021
Worked on optimizing and abstracting hardware test cases using C# and in-house software for an avionics display unit.
