Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAdina Bechhofer is an EECS PhD candidate at MIT with eight years of experience bridging photonics research and software systems, currently characterizing optical devices at Lightmatter. Her work centers on modeling optical-frequency nanoantennas, ultrafast optics, and electron–photon interactions, with a practical focus on light-weight simulations and model order reduction for integrated circuitry. She has a strong experimental and computational background from roles at Microsoft, Cornell Tech, and Columbia, and has taught computer science and mentored student projects across web and systems development. Beyond optics, Adina’s interdisciplinary habit of applying data-driven and cloud-deployed tooling (from sentiment-mining scripts to Dockerized back-ends) helps her translate complex physical models into reproducible software workflows.
