Projects
A mix of research tooling and coursework implementations.
linXiv
Self-host your research, easily.
Discover, manage, and visualize academic papers from arXiv — run your library on hardware you control, with a modern desktop app, optional AI, Obsidian integration, and an interactive network graph.
Capabilities
Search arXiv, OpenAlex, or your local library. Resolve any DOI. Versioned metadata in your own SQLite database.
Explore papers, authors, and tags in an interactive force-directed graph with live physics controls.
Group papers by research thread. Attach reading notes scoped to each project — one paper, many contexts.
Run on your laptop, lab machine, or server. Your PDFs and metadata stay under your control — not a vendor's cloud.
Interfaces
Tauri + React UI with library, graph, projects, search, and in-app PDF reading.
Model Context Protocol server for AI-assisted literature workflows. One-click setup for Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Windsurf.
Search, fetch, list, tag, and manage papers from the terminal.
FastAPI backend with OpenAPI docs — powers the desktop app and supports custom frontends.
Coursework & Research
Stern-Gerlach Experiment Simulation
PHYS 707- —Built a custom Finite Difference Method solver to simulate the Stern-Gerlach effect, replacing proprietary commercial software with a modular, accessible toolchain
- —Validated results against historical experimental data
- —Optimized particle propagation using Monte Carlo simulation with Boltzmann velocity distribution, processing ~19,000 trajectories with systematic noise characterization and curve fitting
Dissipative State Preparation & Topological Error Correction
PHYS 779- —Implemented a dissipative encoder for the Toric Code using the Lindblad master equation in QuTiP
- —Benchmarked logical fidelity under error mitigation protocols (>99% in noise-free regimes)
- —Characterized protocol robustness against parameter errors (up to ±15%) through systematic noise analysis
- —Achieved ~92% singlet-state preparation fidelity
Ti:Sapphire Laser Cavity Stability Analysis
- —Modeled laser cavity stability using Ray Optics in COMSOL and ABCD matrix formalism in Mathematica
- —Analyzed beam propagation and cavity mode stability for Ti:Sapphire laser system
