BioRobert is a PhD candidate in Electrical Engineering, co-advised by Jonathan Fan and Ivan Soltesz. His research is generously supported by the Knight-Hennessy Scholars program.

Robert's work has been focused on pushing the boundaries of optical engineering and neuroscience through innovations in machine learning and applied physics. Most recently, he developed agentic reasoning frameworks that leverage a new class of ultra-fast and general Maxwell surrogate solvers to power the automated design of multi-objective, multi-wavelength metasurfaces in near real-time (as opposed to weeks of manual specialized design work).
