About

Currently, I am leading postdoctoral research to pioneer quantum sensing techniques by utilizing single atom-scale defects, namely NV centers, in diamonds. My work involves developing protocols that leverage spatial and temporal correlations among these defects to explore correlated dynamics in strongly interacting condensed matter systems. During my Ph.D., I integrated experiments and computations to drive scientific discovery. My research encompassed solid-state emitters and nanoscale light-matter interactions. delved into first-principle density functional theory (DFT) modeling of solid-state materials and applied multivariate statistical analysis, including Machine Learning, to interpret experimental data. #QuantumOptics #QuantumSensing #CondensedMatterPhysics #DFTModeling #MachineLearning #ResearchInnovation
