In the summer of 2019, I had the opportunity to work on a joint project between two graduate research groups at the University of Washington. The goal was to use the electrodynamics modeling techniques of the Masiello group and apply them to the unique electro-optic device structures that the Robinson group and its collaborators develop. Over the course of the summer, I developed and ran code for simulations using the Discrete Dipole Approximation, setting the groundwork for more sophisticated models which would allow researchers to optimize these devices by experimenting with structural parameters and materials. I decided to write about this research for my senior thesis in physics.
