Undergraduate physicist at CSULB · Python hobbyist · Nanoelectronics lab

Welcome to my webpage. I'm an undergraduate physicist at California State University, Long Beach, working in the CSULB Nanoelectronics Lab. I am also a hobbyist Python developer, creating practical tools in an attempt to optimize my day-to-day workflows.

Currently, my work revolves around the spectroscopic characterization of van der Waals materials such as platinum ditelluride and graphene.

Once I get around to building everything up, this website will be a place to host projects, thoughts, and contact information — a small corner of the internet to serve as my portable CV and archive. Relevant contact information can be found in the footer, and please feel free to reach out.

As of now, there is no planned timeline yet. This was mostly a fun little exercise in web development to distract from my physics research and midterms.

For those more curious, you can find the repo that this webpage deploys from on my GitHub, linked in the footer. It's essentially a Flask server that renders a static webpage. Nothing complicated — just basic HTML and CSS along with a little JavaScript for routing cache and the dark mode toggle. Flask mostly saves me time and makes the pages more readable, since every page extends a shared base.html template. The code is open source and free to use as you see fit, though the site content itself is not.

Until the site is fully set up, please find my resume here: Download
