Doctorate student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Princeton University

jl6258@princeton.edu

Hi there, welcome to my portfolio!

I am a current graduate student from Jakarta, Indonesia at Princeton University whose primary interest currently lies in material design and application for novel computing technologies. More specifically, I want to apply emerging technology from condensed matter theory for quantum computing applications. During my free time, I like to learn new both spoken and programming languages (or brush up on existing ones) and, if possible, to leave the house and venture to new lands! As someone who had lived most of his life as an expat, I enjoy exploring new cultures and immersing myself into a foreign environment.
