- Goal: To establish a scalable quantum networking testbed by modeling atmospheric effects on a Free-Space Optical (FSO) quantum link.
- Technical Achievements:
- Developed complex computational models using libRadtran and Python to quantify signal degradation caused by atmospheric turbulence.
- Designed and implemented robust IPC connections (Java/Python) to interface the quantum software with the physical FSO hardware (IRNAS Koruza).
- Managed the entire project workflow using Linux and Git, demonstrating proficiency in scientific software development environments.
I am committed to building projects that integrate physics knowledge with electronics and software, and I value projects that lead to a tangible, physical outcome. I plan to continue expanding my portfolio with projects in embedded systems, photonics, and machine learning.
