I’m Piyush, a semiconductor engineering graduate student exploring quantum materials, device physics, and circuits. I’m interested in taking ideas from the lab toward useful hardware.
My work spans experimental quantum materials and the engineering questions that turn physical understanding into devices.
From crystal growth to cryogenic measurements, this project examines a triangular lattice quantum spin liquid candidate and its field dependent behavior. Co-author, 2026.
Explore the preprint ↗As a Graduate Student Researcher in Northeastern’s Ebrahimi Lab, I’m developing adaptive RFIC control for superconducting transmon qubits.
I grew up in Mumbai and studied physics at Purdue, where experimental research taught me to stay with difficult questions. Today I’m pursuing an M.S. in Semiconductor Engineering at Northeastern University, with an interest in devices, fabrication, and circuit design.
I enjoy the space between disciplines: understanding a material, measuring how it behaves, and asking what it might make possible. Outside the lab, you can usually find me reading, playing chess, at the gym, or planning a trip.
Research milestones and moments from the journey. For the stories behind them, join me on Friday nights.
Neutrinos pass through the universe almost unnoticed. IceCube gave scientists a way to catch the rare moment one interacts—and opened a new way to study the cosmos.
Read this note ↗Our work on the triangular lattice material TlYbS₂ is available on arXiv. A milestone after many experiments, measurements, and conversations.
Read the preprint ↗I’ve begun my master’s in Semiconductor Engineering in Boston, bringing my physics background into devices and circuits.
Explore my path ↗Four years studying physics and quantum information, with research experiences that shaped the questions I want to pursue next.
Connect with me ↗I’m interested in conversations about semiconductor engineering, quantum hardware, research collaborations, and interesting problems across disciplines.
