Corbin Riches

I am pursuing my MASc at Queen's University, working on dark-photon detection through photonics, quantum sensing, and cryogenic experimental systems. I am a Canadian engineering physicist from a small town in Northwestern Ontario, drawn to the challenge of making difficult-to-observe physics measurable. This site is home to my projects, notes, experiments, and writing about whatever has me curious.
