Research Statement

My main duties at the university revolve around teach the large-scale introductory physics courses, both calculus and non-calculus based, as well as introductory physics labs.
 
My research background is in experimental condensed matter physics.  My main line of research interest is in the characterization and study of organic and inorganic materials used in LED and photovoltaic applications.  Specifically, I am interested in using techniques such as immittance spectroscopy, noise spectroscopy, and opto-impedance spectroscopy to measure small-amplitude fluctuating parameters which can then be tied to the physical process (such as generation-recombination or quantum tunneling) generating them for a non-discursive exploration of a material's functionality.  In addition to this, I am interested in superconductivity, particularly in 1D and 2D disordered systems and the growth of such devices.
