I am a graduate student pursuing a PhD in the Department of Physics at the University of Chicago. Here I have posted information about my work and study in physics and also a little about myself.

My work on surface plasmon propagation has come to a close. All-in-all I think it turned out to be a great project. I learned quite a bit about this topic which I had previously never heard of and I tightened up my electricity and magnetism skills (an area I had never claimed any confidence in). I've posted the final report and poster on the plasmon research page. I am quite grateful to Prof. Guyot-Sionnest for his help through all this. Now it's time to shift gears as I prepare for my summer work with Prof. Mazenko.

I have begun to work on some numerical calculations related to the liquid-glass phase transition under advisor Gene Mazenko. This project will run through the coming summer, but if I enjoy the work and am able to handle the calculations, it may be possible to stay on and expand this into something larger. The work seems interesting, relevant and very challenging. It is the first time I will be involved in truly theoretical research. As I become familiar with the material I will post information on its own page under Research.
