Graduate Research

During my graduate work in the physics department at Cornell University, and at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization in Germany, I studied chemical and biological sensing with carbon nanotubes.

Undergraduate Research

I participated in REU programs after my sophomore and senior years at Swarthmore, first doing optics research at NIST, Gaithersburg, and then studying particle physics at CERN. Both programs gave me wonderful opportunities to meet scientists at world-class laboratories and to participate in exciting experimental work. The undergraduate research project in which I became most involved, however, was my work in computational physics at Swarthmore College, which led to my senior honors thesis.
