Currently working on manganites and YCBO superconductor.
Using a combination of techniques (neutron, soft X-ray, etc) to determine
local structure.
Technically a Doctoral Candidate, but that was before I
switched groups, so I'll need to update at some point...
M.S. - Applied Physics
University of South Florida
May 2004
Thesis topic : Phase imaging digital holography for
biological microscopy
Basically, I used a digital camera to take holographic
pictures of biological samples and reconstructed them numerically to obtain
z-axis data
B.A. - Physics
University of South Florida
May 2002 (cum laude)
Honors College
Honors thesis topic : Science for Success - a case study
Analysis of a program I was involved in. The program
goal was to work with the same group of students in a public school each
week, and see if the hands-on teaching techniques we employed made any
measurable difference in the students' test scores on the FCAT. Short
version : not really.
