Patrick conducted his Ph.D. research at the University of Wisconsin, Madison under the supervision of Prof. Jason Kawasaki. His work focused on utilizing ultra-high vacuum thin film growth, spectroscopy, and microscopy techniques to investigate the atomic and chemical structure of metal / graphene / semiconductor structures during early stages (few monolayers) of thin film growth.

Afterwards, he joined the lab of Prof. Javad Shabani as a postdoctoral associate at New York University from early 2022 – late 2025 where he was interested in the thin film growth of superconducting germanium for use in merged-element superconducting devices.

Patrick joined EQuS in December of 2025 to further investigate materials-specific losses at interfaces within superconducting devices utilizing molecular beam epitaxy and in-situ spectroscopy techniques.
