Greetings!
Welcome to the
Ryan Luu Lounge

I was born and raised in Tucson, Arizona, where I went to school through high school before continuing on to the University of Arizona. There, I triple majored in Computer Science, Mathematics, and East Asian Studies (Japanese Language Emphasis). During the summer of Sophmore year, I even spent a summer studying abroad at Waseda University in Tokyo.

After graduating, I earned a Master’s in Computer Science at the University of Southern California and afterwards worked as a Machine Learning Engineer at a startup called Lightsense Technology. That experience eventually led me back to the University of Arizona and into Optics, where I’m now pursuing a Ph.D. in Optical Sciences as part of the LOFT Lab. There my research focuses on Machine Learning and Algorithm Optimizations for large-scale optics and fabrication.

And this little space on the web is where I share these projects, my research, and the personal side about how this all became my life.
