Engineer // Researcher // Artist

I am a 1st year PhD student in the optical sciences program at the University of Arizona. Previously, I received a master’s degree in informatics from the University of Tsukuba, where I was advised by Yoichi Ochiai in the Digital Nature Group. Prior to that, I earned a BS in electrical engineering from Brigham Young University with university honors, advised by Daniel Smalley as a member of the Electro-Holography Lab.

My research is centered on 3D displays and physical informatics—I’m interested in designing interactive cyber-physical systems that bridge nanophotonics and computational displays. As a PhD student my quest is to free the user from the pixel prison of modern technology. My current focus is on guided-wave acousto-optic devices for holographic video. If you’re interested, please reach out!

In addition to my academic work, I am a DJ and write electronic music.
