Me

Taken in Shizuoka, Japan

I'm Rigel (/'raɪdʒəl/ (Ry-gel)). Named after the star in Orion.

I'm from Montreal. 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.

Use of this website

I plan on putting notes here, as well as info on things I find useful.
