Optical engineering | Lens design | Optical system design I worked as an optical engineer in the semiconductor industry for five years, focusing on the design and development of optical systems spanning the UV to NIR range, with a specialization in photoluminescent imaging and optical metrology. Recently, I relocated to Sydney, Australia, to pursue a PhD in astronomical optical instrumentation. Over the past 7+ years, I have gained extensive experience in optical design (including Zemax OpticStudio and scripting) and hands-on lab work from proof of concept, through design and tolerancing, to product delivery. My skillset includes optical system and lens design, microscopy, lab prototyping, optical metrology, Python programming, and working with lasers.

By day, I'm an Aeronautical Engineer, which is just a very fancy of saying I'm great at making sure things that are supposed to fly actually do. I hold a degree in the subject, so my knowledge of lift, drag, and thrust is pretty good. By night (and sometimes, let's be honest, all the time), I’m a Space Sustainability Researcher. I work along an amazing team dedicated to understanding and improving every aspect of the universe to make Earth and space a better, more sustainable place. We present our findings at conferences because if you're going to lose sleep, it should be for the good of the galaxy! My mind is a wonderfully diverse landscape where designing, writing, singing, art, and yoga all play together. I have worked as a patent consultant, conducted 30+ patentability searches, designed components and worked on deep research across autonomous, software, agricultural, mechanical, and medical tech. When I’m not researching or designing components, I pursue a more grounded (literally) existence as a 200-hour certified Yoga Teacher. Yes, I can pinpoint a flaw in a jet engine design and teach you the proper alignment for a Downward-Facing Dog. My favorite things are Space, Airplanes, Nature, Art, and Yoga. I'm an eternal learner, a self-proclaimed "learning artist," and a creative writer on Medium, I share whatever the moon tells me to. I’m essentially a high-learning Wonder Woman who freelances on Upwork, committed to turning every project into a masterpiece and constantly expanding my toolkit. Need help with: Research (patentability, market, tech), Writing (Articles/ Summary/ Research paper/Stories/ Poems/ Creative), Design (SolidWorks, logo, analysis), Presentations (Canva, Microsoft PowerPoint), Video/Image Creation/Editing, Python/MatLab Coding, Transcription/Translation, or just about anything that requires a hyper-curious, detail-obsessed mind? I’m ready to assist with the skills I have and learn the once I don't have, through the process. I would love to help, learn and grow. Let's launch your project!

I am a computational physicist (PhD and postdoc in computational photonics) with extensive experience of solving physical/mathematical problems in both academia and industry. The following provides a summary of the work I have done: 1) Computational simulations of physical systems. This involved electromagnetics, electro and magnetostatics, current flow in ionic cells (dc and ac), diffusion, structural mechanics and charged particle tracing. 2) Optical system design and analysis. I specialize in optics so this topic has been a recurring part of my work. Particular examples include Fourier optics, gaussian beam propagation and aberration analysis. 3) Machine learning, mathematical optimization and signal processing. Physical problems in products naturally overlap with concepts in mathematical modelling. I have used signal processing, machine learning and nonlinear optimization and filtering methods for both 1D and 2D data. 4) I began my journey as an electrical engineer. I am familiar with electrical systems and have hands on experience of programming microcontrollers and FPGAs. As for tools, I am an advanced user of Comsol Multiphysics and opensource FEM code FeniCS. For scientific programming, I have extensively used Matlab, Python and Julia.
