Experience

Hardware Intern — Nokia Bell Labs

July 2025

Thesis Student — imec

July 2024 – August 2025

• Designed nanostructured arrays for ultrafast surface-enhanced spectroscopies of EUV photoresists. Spent a year inside of Lumerical FDTD.
• Cleanroom work including dicing wafers and spin-coating resists on coupons, and exposing coupons to EUV radiation.

Research Intern — imec

February 2024 – May 2024

• Designed a holographic reconstruction apparatus using a phase light modulator

Thesis Student — SABCA

August 2022 – May 2023

• Implemented the thrust vector control algorithms used in the Vega-C rocket launcher’s Control Loop Processor (CLP) as an RTL design in VHDL, targeting a Microsemi IGLOO2 FPGA
• Developed onboard communication peripherals using MIL-STD-1553 and data acquisition interfaces (ADC, SPI)
• Validated correctness against a cycle-accurate model of the original CLP using SystemVerilog testbenches 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.
