I am a research assistant professor at IMR. I got my PhD in Physics from Washington State University, Pullman.

My research interests include bulk crystal growth and defects in compound semiconductors. At IMR I currently study CdTe and related alloys, Gallium oxide, materials that are useful in medical imaging, photovoltaics, nuclear medicine, power electronics.
