About
My name is Nimba Oshnik, I am a physicist and currently working at the intersection of quantum sensing and advanced semiconductor chip metrology.
My work emphasizes physical intuition, theory-informed modeling, and close collaboration with experiment, systems engineering, and industry.
I also enjoy scientific outreach and building simple, intuitive explanations of complex physical systems.
