I was accepted to Yale Law, so Nick accepted his job offer in Mechanical Engineering at Yale, and we're moving to New Haven!

Welcome!

After spending five years doing research in the Physics Department at Cornell University with Professor Paul McEuen for my Ph.D. dissertation, I have decided to go to law school. I still love physics, but I came to realize that more than the hands-on experimentation, what I enjoy is coming to understand a new aspect of science and then teaching others about that field. This article from Nature magazine got me interested in patent law, which I believe will combine many of the things I have liked best about physics.

My research at Cornell focused on chemical and biological sensing with carbon nanotubes in solution, and I was also involved in many science outreach activities. Follow the links to the left to learn more!
