I developed skills and an interest in computational physics while interning at TRIUMF. My passion for the sustainable energy space led me to explore fusion. I applied to General Fusion for a co-op position and was later hired back full-time. Currently, I’m focused on comparing experimental data against simulations. I hold a degree in engineering physics from the University of British Columbia.
What I enjoy most about work is being surrounded by intelligent, motivated people. Even when faced with challenging problems, there’s a clear purpose behind what we do. The range of work is diverse and engaging, which keeps me constantly inspired and involved.
One of my proudest moments at work was enhancing a reconstruction tool for determining plasma behavior based on diagnostics. I was tasked with speeding it up and increased its performance by five to ten times. This improvement allows us to get feedback on shots more quickly, enabling more efficient planning before firing the next one.
A little-known fact about me is that I play the viola in a community orchestra. I’ve been playing for 14 years, and it’s a rewarding way for me to contribute to the community while enjoying my passion for music.
I spent 13 years in the Tokyo area of Japan growing up. I especially enjoy the architecture (old and new), nature, and food.
