control via ultrasound waves. Group won first place in Texas Instruments Senior Design contest at Columbia
University
Electrical Engineering Department Optics Lab, Columbia University, New York, NY
Research Assistant, Prof. Richard Osgood (May 2010 – August 2010)
• Examined lithium niobate thin films using AFM to study the effects of Hydrofluoric Acid used in fabrication.
• Meticulously collected and analyzed data to depict the characteristics of lithium niobate thin films.
• Prepared and made presentations on research findings to the research group.
Chemistry Department, Arcadia University, Glenside, PA (January 2009 - July 2009)
Research Assistant, Prof. Emanuele Curotto
• Ran extensive simulations of chemical properties of substances using Monte Carlo algorithms such as Parallel Tempering
implemented in FORTRAN code to test the strength of these methods as used by the research group to establish their
reliability.
• Illustrated the failure of the widely used, Parallel Tempering method and steered the research group toward finding a more
robust method of simulation.
