John is in his final year of the BA/MA program, majoring in Physics. Born and raised in Staten Island, New York, John graduated from Michael J. Petrides School and then moved to Connecticut where he attended Middlesex Community College before transferring to Wesleyan. His interests include Postwar Japanese Cinema and E-sports, where he has reached master rank in multiple titles, including Rocket League, Overwatch, and Apex Legends. He would like to continue his education after graduation in the field of photonics and quantum transport.

Abstract: We develop computational tools for the design of electromagnetic waveform shaping protocols with enhanced capabilities to target electronic elements embedded inside complex enclosures. Existing schemes require linear scattering conditions and rely on wave interference effects that are generated when monochromatic radiation is injected inside a cavity. Whereas we invent the theoretical framework necessary for the design of agile electromagnetic waveforms which under non-linear scattering conditions can target sensitive electronic elements embedded inside complex (reverberate) enclosures. Our computational schemes are tested against experimental realities with microwave settings.
