I am a recent PhD graduate from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Virginia. I now work at the Naval Research Lab in Washington, DC. My research interests include electron transport in nanoscale systems, computational modeling and device engineering, and focus on molecular electronics and hybrid molecule-semiconductor devices.
