This is my personal site. I am a physicist researcher and educator with a focus in condensed matter physics and highly interested in magnetic properties of solids and spintronics.
As a researcher, I was involved in undergraduate research as well as a graduate project for my M.S. degree at San Jose State University. The latter culminated in a published paper in AIP Advances. Through my research, I have analyzed experimental data of a muon spin rotation experiment on magnetite applying maximum entropy to explore in further detail its internal magnetic environment. Presently, I work in technical support for laboratories at San Jose State University. In furthering my professional development, I hope to use my experience and expertise in the fields of academic research and technology development. Specific areas of interest include spintronics, quantum materials, and renewable energy technologies.
As an educator, I have worked as a teaching assistant and later as a lecturer at San Jose State University. I was also appointed lab coordinator for the lower division algebra-based general physics laboratory covering the topics of electricity, magnetism, and optics. In this role, I contributed to the development of a laboratory manual. The manual implements the laboratory experiments traditionally performed in this lab along with many online supplementary activities that collect the most useful free online resources relevant to the topics covered in the course. Presently, I serve as an adjunct faculty member at Evergreen Valley College.
