My research interests are in the field of experimental nanoscience and spintronics. My group and I fabricate samples ranging in size from 1 mm down to 10nm (1x10-8m) using photolithography and electron beam lithography. Spin-tronics is a new frontier in physics that tries to build and study new electronic devices that utilize both the charge AND the SPIN of the electron. My lab houses a class 1000 cleanroom facility, where we fabricate our micron-size samples, and a low temperature magnetic characterization lab.
Both undergraduate and graduate students working in my group get the chance to conduct research in nanotechnology and in measuring sample resistance at cryogenic temperatures.
I teach freshman and contemporary physics classes for both physics majors and science and engineering students. I enjoy teaching students about established theories in physics as well as some of the newest frontiers in the field.
