Work History

Graduate Research Assistant

Utah State University
Logan, United States
01.2008 - 05.2009
  • Turbulence in the edge region of a tokamak plasma
  • Make and implement Langmuir Probes on our plasma system, collect data, and use Linear and Nonlinear Analysis techniques on the data. Linear Techniques included basic power spectrum, correlation, cross correlation, and wavenumber-frequency Spectrum S(k,f). Nonlinear Techniques include the Bispectrum.

Graduate Research Assistant

Space Dynamics Laboratory
Logan, United States
05.2007 - 12.2007
  • Principal Component Analysis applied to infrared data from the Cross-Track Infrared Sounder (CrIS) and the National Polar-Orbiting Environment Satellite System (NPOESS) Airborne Sounder Testbed-Interferometer (NAST-I) as a data compression procedure, noise filter, and retrieval technique.

Undergraduate Research Assistant

Utah State University
Logan, United States
09.2005 - 10.2006
  • Investigate the carrier mobility in a phosphorous delta layer by exploring different processing conditions in an Ultrahigh Vacuum chamber.
  • Utilize the Atomic Force Microscope to image the surface of silicon samples.
  • Programmed a mathematical model to calibrate our thermocouple readings.
  • Presented my results at the APS four corners meeting and published them in the Physical Review Journal.

National Undergraduate Fellowship in Plasma Physics and Fusion Energy

Los Alamos National Laboratory and Princeton Univ
Los Alamos, United States
06.2006 - 08.2006
  • Attend a week long Intensive course on Plasma Physics at Princeton University
  • Participated in a plasma physics research group and summer school at LANL
  • Found the most efficient and effective way of building a bolometer array, testing it, and investigating the thermal properties.
  • Presented my results at the LANL student symposium and at the APS Division of Plasma Physics annual conference.

National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network REU Internship

Stanford University
Stanford, United States
06.2005 - 08.2005
  • Participated in a graduate student research group
  • Fabricated MOS capacitors at the Stanford Nanofabrication Facility (SNF)
  • Investigated the electrical properties of these capacitors by measuring the capacitance-voltage characteristics.
  • Published a paper on my research and gave a presentation at the NNIN convocation.
