Research Interests:

I am currently working with students to refurbish an ultra-fast laser system.  I also conduct research into polymer dynamics and recently started a collaboration with faculty from the University of Costa Rica in research on thin-film metal hydrides.  Finally, I am working with our Office of International Education to create a semester abroad program that is easily accessible to our physics majors.
