Key Achievements
- ASIC Design: Designed and characterized a state-of-the-art phase detector ASIC (65 nm TSMC) with <30 fs phase resolution.
- Clock Distribution: Developed a sub-picosecond clock distribution system at a 1km scale with applications in quantum networking and stellar intensity interferometry.
- Patent Pending: Invented a novel solution for measuring index-of-refraction at one-tenth the cost of conventional equipment (PCT/US24/60908).
- Grants & Leadership: Developed a $1M grant proposal as the PI on commercializing precision timing technology for industrial applications.
- Physics Analysis: Developed and carried out analysis searching for charge parity violations of Higgs bosons using cutting-edge machine learning.
