Laser / Optical Instrumentation Specialist,
Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem, NC.
- Responsible for the day to day management and maintenance of
a multiple user laser spectroscopy laboratory that includes two
ultrafast laser systems, an excimer laser and a streak camera.
- Designed and built a multiphoton confocal microscope for defect
mapping of thin film and bulk semiconductors with 200 nm lateral
and 700 nm axial resolution.
- Developed a LabView based data acquisition, experiment control
and analysis program for ultrafast absorption measurements.
- Mapped out defect structures in epitaxial GaN thin films with
high spatial accuracy.
- Collaborated with the Wake Forest Medical School
to integrate an existing pulsed laser with a commercial confocal
microscope.
- Acted as a reviewer for the Proceedings of the 3rd International
Conference on Excitonic Processes in Condensed Matter.
