About me

I earned my PhD in Physics from the University of Alberta, where I developed creative approaches to push the vision of atomic-scale manufacturing forward for better electronic devices and memories. I also worked to help commercialize this technology, allowing me to simultaneously develop practical business expertise during my education.

I have extensive technical writing and public speaking experience, and have earned a number of accolades for my ability to distill complex ideas into easily accessible segments across a variety of different media. I am also passionate about outreach and have been able to work with an amazing team of people to bring the free children’s eBook series Santa the Scientist to life.

Currently, I lead several projects at Quantum Silicon Inc. to further the development and commercialization of atomic-scale manufacturing and ultra-low power circuitry. In addition, I manage Quantum Silicon Inc.’s intellectual property strategy and portfolio, which includes machine learning automation, nanofabrication, and atomic-scale designs and processes. I am also actively involved in business development and fundraising.

Some of my notable technical and scientific achievements include:

-Constructing the “World’s Smallest Maple Leaf” from just 32 atoms to celebrate Canada’s 150^th birthday.

-Creating the “World’s Densest Solid-State Memory,” then storing and playing back the first 24 notes of the Mario theme song with just 62 atoms.

-Developing a technique to improve the manufacturing yield of atomic-scale devices by turning hydrogen molecules into “Molecular Erasers.”

My experiences have given me a very diverse and adaptable skill set. If any of my expertise could be an asset to your upcoming technical, business, or creative endeavours, get in touch!
