Profile Summary

A researcher specializing in materials science for renewable energy applications. I have a robust background in synthesizing, depositing, characterizing, and analyzing thin films and pellets with Pulsed Laser Deposition and sputtering for photocatalytic and photovoltaic applications. I can help you with research plans, experimental design, finding weaknesses in your work, or help you understand how the chemistry and physics on a nanoscale have macroscale impact on your business or project. My newest dive is into micromechanics and gas-density-sensors.
