I am an Electrical Engineer both studying and working at Duke University in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. 

I am currently the Undergraduate Laboratory Manager in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke University, Durham, NC.  Prior to my current position, I have been employed in the field, both in research and industry. At RTI International, Research Triangle Park, NC I served as a Research Engineer where I designed high-efficiency thermoelectrics using epitaxially grown superlattice thin-film structures.  At Lutron Electronics, Coopersburg, PA I developed electronically controlled dimmers for fluorescent and incandescent lamps.

My research interests include undergraduate engineering education, energy harvesting, RFID, power electronics, plasma physics, and thin films.

I am currently a PhD student at Duke University, Durham, NC.  I received the MS degree in EE from Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH and the B.S. degree in Physics from Bates College, Lewiston, ME.
