Bio

Paul earned his BS in Engineering Physics at the University of Michigan – Ann Arbor. He completed his MS and PhD in Materials Science at UC Berkeley, where he focused on thin film growth and the study of topological states in systems which lack long-range order, such as amorphous materials. He joined the Palmstrøm group in the winter of 2023 as a Postdoctoral Scholar. Paul currently researches the growth of novel topological states and heterostructures as well as transport measurements/spectroscopy for applications in quantum information science. In his spare time outside of the lab, Paul enjoys surfing.
