Case Studies
Projects where I tried to apply the framework in /method.
Some worked well. Some didn’t. All of them taught me something about where interpretation breaks down.
-
Inverse RCWA Metrology
Summer 2025 internship at KLA — recovered trench depth, couldn’t resolve secondary parameters -
AlN Electroabsorption
Field-dependent UV modulation — ruled out several mechanisms, one survived -
g-C₃N₄ Optical Transitions
Metal doping shifts absorption, but structure is non-unique -
Alloy Configuration Sampling
First computational project — learned that composition alone doesn’t determine properties -
Port Metasurface
Senior thesis (in progress) — simulation vs. deployment mismatch
Constraint analysis for each: /constraints
Note: These are undergraduate projects from 2024-2026. Limited scope, limited data, limited experience. I’m documenting them to see if the patterns generalize.
