Independent Research

Solo write-ups on topics I've been digging into outside of coursework.

First page of the NV center review paper

Nitrogen-Vacancy Centers in Diamond for Quantum Sensing

Review · July 2026

An overview of how nitrogen-vacancy defects in diamond act as room-temperature quantum sensors. Covers the underlying spin physics, how Optically Detected Magnetic Resonance reads out that spin state, and the fabrication hurdles standing between lab demos and deployable magnetometers.

First page of the MOCVD hBN growth proposal

Proposed Self-Limiting 2D hBN Growth via MOCVD

Proposal

A proposed reactor design and growth recipe for directly synthesizing wafer-scale 2D hexagonal boron nitride, aimed at producing self-limiting monolayers with built-in single-photon emitters — sidestepping the scalability limits of exfoliation and traditional CVD.

Course Lab Reports

Group fabrication labs from UCSB's ECE 120 semiconductor devices sequence.

ECE 120A: MOSFET Fabrication & Characterization

Lab Report · March 2025

With Maxwell Wu, Deven Tseng, Thomas Duan, Mark Zakharyan & Chengxuan Li

Full fabrication and electrical characterization of MOSFETs, diodes, MOS capacitors, and TLM test structures built from scratch in UCSB's cleanroom, from photolithography through I-V and C-V analysis.

First page of the ECE 120B final lab report

ECE 120B: NMOS Ring Oscillators

Lab Report · June 2025

With Deven Tseng, Tony Doan, Anish Gupta & Asli Cebeci

Design, fabrication, and testing of 3-, 5-, and 7-stage NMOS ring oscillators using a four-mask process, comparing measured oscillation frequencies against theoretical predictions.
