Pomona College
Research Intern
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
I am a senior at Pomona College, originally from Nairobi, Kenya. I'm majoring in Physics and Computer Science, with a keen interest in superconductivity.
As an aspiring physicist and computational researcher, I excel in technologies like Python, Java, C/C++, React, and Node.js, and delve into condensed matter physics (CMP) and quantum information science (QIS). My experiences as a computational physicist at the Simons Foundation and an Extended Reality Researcher (for public healthcare research) in Germany have honed my dedication to leveraging computational models to address complex physics challenges and improve real-world systems.
I'm exploring new opportunities in computational physics and software engineering, driven by a desire to contribute to projects that extend the frontiers of knowledge for the greater good. With a focus on the revolutionary potential of superconductors, particularly in quantum computing, I'm eager to apply my broad skill set, fresh perspectives, and collaborative mindset in environments that appreciate the integration of physics and computational sciences.
I'm dedicated to making a meaningful impact through physics research, aiming to broaden our understanding of the universe through CMP and QIS, with an interest in high-temperature superconductivity.
During my leisure, I enjoy hiking, singing, playing and watching football, and listening to music and podcasts.
