It was great fun looking for Physics Beyond the Standard Model during my PhD at Harvard, where I worked on measuring the electron’s electric dipole moment with a record precision enabled by the amazingly high electric field available in the thorium monoxide molecule. At Berkeley, I developed the lattice atom interferometer which can now interfere Caesium atoms after 70 seconds of hold in an optical lattice, probing the interplay between quantum mechanics and gravity.

I am a physics major at UC Berkeley working on ECORE, where we use lasers to detect biopotentials via an electrochromic film. It has been a lot of fun setting up optics, making electronics, designing PCBs, and doing data analysis. At home, I’m working on a conveyor belt 3D printer and fixing my electric bike.
