G5 in Electrical Engineering

I'm James (he/him), I'm a G5 in Electrical Engineering. I work with Prof. Alireza Marandi to study ultrafast nonlinear photonics. I currently serve as the treasurer of the Caltech Optica Student Chapter where I plan and host journal clubs and research related events. I also serve on the EE Local Student Committee to facilitate the ongoing seminar series centered on students and their research accomplishments. I hold elected office as part of the Caltech Graduate Researchers and Postdocs United labor union (CGPU-UAW) where I'm working on bargaining a strong contract for graduate students. Caltech is a unique and diverse community, and I've been honored to help grow and nurture intra and interdepartmental connections and collaboration. I look forward to advancing the mission of GUAB and helping to build a strong community at Caltech together.
