Engineering nanoscale energy transport with light.
I investigate ferroelectric HZO thin films and thermal behavior in MXenes, pairing femtosecond lasers with Raman/PL and multilayer thermal models.
About
Mechanical engineering researcher exploring how light and heat interact in complex thin-film stacks. I like combining benchtop experiments with simulation to bridge spectra, temperature fields, and material properties — from ferroelectric domains to MXene defects.
