Maybe, you don't really want to know.

I am currently residing in Lausanne, Switzerland where I am enrolled in a local university. I am here on exchange from the university of my home town, Waterloo.

my scientific interests
All science is either physics or stamp collecting.
-Ernest Rutherford
My main scientific interests are physics and applications to engineering, specially applying quantum optics, quantum theory, optics and electromagnetic theory to make cool things.

In the fall I will start work on my PhD at California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, CA.

Last summer I was working at the Photonic Entanglement Group of Prof Gregor Weihs at the Institute of Quantum Computing.

schooling
I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.
-Mark Twain
I finished highschool in 2003. I've been enrolled in an Electrical Engineering co-op program at the University of Waterloo since 2003. I am spending my last year of undergraduate studies on exchange at l'Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland and graduating in 2008. I will be starting my PhD in 2008 at Caltech.
