Introduction
I’m Frank Dininno, born and raised in California, and I am an undergraduate at The University of California, San Diego.
My primary interests are photonics, molecular self-assembly, and simulations.
I am interested in any jobs involving photonic materials and devices or conformational molecular photoswitches.
Skills
My skill set includes programming (Java, Python, Matlab, Bash, Shell, Linux, Github), computer-aided design (Onshape, Autodesk, Blender, Klayout), 3D printing (FLM, Resin), and simulations (FEM, DFT).
Major
My current major is nanoengineering, which specializes in consumer electronics (screens, batteries, computer chips), emerging pharmaceuticals (micelles, nanoparticle drug delivery), and nanofabrication (metallic polyhedra, carbon nanotubes).
Research Lab
I am currently in a photonics-based research lab run by Yeshaiahu Fainman. I joined in the Fall of 2024. My current assignment is to run simulations using the Finite Element Method to calculate the normal modes of silicon waveguides. Right now, the software I am using is FEniCSx, an open source Python package.
