Friday Notes · From Boston

Curiosity, after hours.

From cosmic messengers to quantum materials and the chips we build. Thoughts on physics, one curious question at a time.

Why this space exists

There's more to a question than its answer.

I’m a physicist learning to build in the world of semiconductor devices and circuits. Some weeks are about an experiment or a design problem. Others are about a new city, a conversation, or finding perspective away from the lab.

This is where I’ll share the process behind the milestones: what I’m learning, what surprised me, and what I’m still trying to understand.

Friday Notes.

A growing collection of ideas, experiments, and little discoveries. New writing will appear here as it’s published.

The Neutrino Who Walked Into the Party Unnoticed

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.

A few recent moments

Along the way.

Short updates from research and life. The Friday posts above will leave more room for the stories behind them.

01 / RESEARCH

Our TlYbS₂ preprint is out.

Crystal growth, low temperature measurements, and many conversations became my first research paper as a co-author.

Read the preprint ↗
02 / NEW CHAPTER

Graduate school begins in Boston.

I’m studying Semiconductor Engineering at Northeastern, bringing my physics background toward devices and circuits.

About my path ↗
03 / MILESTONE

Graduating from Purdue.

Four years in physics, a quantum information certificate, and research experiences that shaped the questions I want to ask next.

Keep the conversation going

Good questions are better shared.

If something here sparks a thought, I’d love to hear from you.
