Career Summary
Strong background in experimental surface science utilizing both high-resolution microscopy
techniques (vacuum AFM and STM), X-ray spectroscopy and diffraction. I also have a strong
background in radiation detector physics with emphasis on measurement techiques and instrumentation. Although recently focus on development of diamond x-ray beam position monitors, I have broad interests studying the physics of radiation detectors and electron emittors.

Best Physics 121 Project (1997)
Physics 121 is a projects-based course; student conceive, design, and build a
microprocessor-based gizmo of their choice, with support from faculty and staff.
The only constraints imposed are that the gizmo should measure something in the
real world, process this information, and control some- thing in the real world.
