RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

Local Spectroscopy of Low-Dimensional Electron Systems 2008 Present

Professor David Goldhaber-Gordon, Department of Physics, Stanford University

Currently investigating a new technique to locally probe high mobility two-dimensional electron systems

with a vertically integrated transistor design in GaAs. Research includes assembling a home-built scanning

gate microscope that operates in a dilution refrigerator.

Magnetic Sensor Technology 2008

Dr. Bruce Gurney, Hitachi Global Storage Technologies, San Jose, California

Research on nanoscale devices that utilize the extraordinary magnetoresistance effect (EMR) for use as read

heads in future hard disk drives.

Thin Film Growth, Characterization and Modeling 2004 2007

Professor Toh-Ming Lu, Department of Physics, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

Scaling theory behind the description of thin lm rough surfaces. Research involved utilization of experimen-

tal deposition techniques including sputter deposition, along with computational simulations of stochastic

growth models.
