Technical Research Interest:

In the past I have used atomic physics methods to look for violation of time-reversal symmetry, which relates to the observed preponderance of matter over antimatter in the universe and extensions to the Standard Model of particle physics. More recently I have been studying the properties and device applications of exotic materials, ranging from superconductors to nanotubes. Currently I am using the tools of nanotechnology to look at problems of both fundamental and practical interest. Specific projects are relevant to cosmology, quantum optics, nanoscale self-assembly, and clean energy harvesting.
