Hello! I’m Janet 👋
I am currently an Applied Physics PhD student at Stanford supervised by Prof Shanhui Fan, where I am supported by a Fulbright Future Scholarship and previously the Quad Fellowship. My research focuses on computational photonics, non-Hermitian physics, topological physics and quantum optics. Recently, I have been interested in optimization and scientific machine learning. I’m currently an intern at Apple where I work on optimization and optics. During grad school, I also interned at Blackbird in Australia and was an Emerson Consequential Scholar. Previously, I did my undergraduate honours and masters in physics at the Australian National University, under Dr Alexander Poddubny. In high school, I competed in the International Physics Olympiads and I also tutored at several camps. Besides physics, I like photography, painting, skateboarding, reading memoirs, solo travelling, watching sunsets and thinking about life.

Topology and Edge States
We recently published a paper in Physical Review Letters on a new topological invariant for edge states in simple, one-dimensional models. The arXiv version is also available here.
