I am a fifth year PhD student at the University of Pennsylvania in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. My research is focused on developing fundamental concepts in nanoscale electronics. My work ranges from the demonstration of a technique for mass producing carbon nanotube transistors to the fabrication of nanoscale electrodes for contacts to nano-crystals and single molecules.

In the lab, precision measurements of temperature and electronic transport are controlled by programmable instruments using the LabVIEW environment. My resume includes programming skills in C++, NI LabVIEW and JavaScript.

I was the recipient of a National Science Foundation IGERT Traineeship awarded by the Drexel/UPenn IGERT program in nanotechnology from 2002-2005.
