About Me

Staff Mechanical Engineer at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. I design and build infrastructure for Dark Matter searches and Quantum Information advancements.

Projects

Cryogenic Calibration System

Cryogenic Calibration System

The CCS steers a focused beam across the surface of a superconducting device, to enable measurement of position-dependent device response to a controlled deposit of energy.

Shielding for Superconducting Quantum Sensors

Shielding for Superconducting Quantum Sensors

Shields combine cryogenic magnetic shielding, broadband IR absorption coating, and RF filtering to suppress backgrounds for highly sensitive transmon-style qubits.

SuperCDMS E-stem Installation at SNOLAB

SuperCDMS E-stem Installation at SNOLAB

I led the installation of the E-stem assembly of the SuperCDMS dark matter experiment, including the design of a custom support frame to secure and protect cables during the lift, and installation operations.
