Graduate Student
Alex received his Bachelors of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from Vanderbilt University in 2024, Summa Cum Laude. He is an NSF GRFP fellow and a Columbia University Presidential fellow. His past research at Vanderbilt primarily focused on device-level photonics, and he is excited to continue this research path and expand into circuit and system/network level design at Columbia. For his research and academic goals, Alex aims to help push the limits of current applications of photonic devices for data communication and computation, while also discovering novel areas to apply photonics.
