About

I am an electrical engineer working on semiconductors, a computational physicist, designer and technology enthusiast. In my current role, I work on OPC Modeling & Simulation at Siemens EDA, formerly Mentor Graphics. Our design tool equips foundries all over the world with the necessary fast, high-accuracy physics simulations that are needed for chip production. My focus is on our Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning and High-Performance Computing products. Prior to this role, I developed numerical methods for physics problems using tools from the AI industry. Here, I focused on charged-particle devices, incl. quantum computing gates. We recently filed a provisional patent for my design algorithm. Alongside this work, I am also a designer. I am a Lecturer at Stanford's d.school (Hasso Plattner Institute of Design), where I have been teaching product design and creativity techniques to highly technical and specialized researchers. Additionally, I developed a web-based platform prototype for online laboratory experiments that has been used in the classroom at Stanford and Europe. Throughout my career, I have been an Accel Innovation Scholar by Stanford's Technology Venture Program
