Me
I'm Rigel (/'raɪdʒəl/ (Ry-gel)). Named after the star in Orion.
I'm from Montreal, where I live. I'm typically recognized by the long red hair.
What I do
I have a PhD in experimental physics from McGill University, in Prof. Lilian Childress' group. We studied defect centers in diamond, namely the Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) center, and Germanium Vacancy (GeV), with the goal of coupling them to optical cavities, producing an enhanced spin-photon interface.
Currently seeking employement, feel free to reach out if you have interesting research or data anlysis roles. I'm mostly interested in companies with direct positive impact on society, especially in the realm of climate change.

I have a big backlog of fun projects I want to write up, and future projects will be tracked as they progress for more accurate story telling.
