Graduate Researcher, Department of Chemistry, Univ. of CA, Irvine
Irvine, CA
Designed and developed instrumentation for surface enhanced Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (CARS) spectroscopy/imaging of single molecules. This includes coupled high rep rate noncollinear OPA’s delivering nearly transform-limited sub-30fs visible pulses and a frequency resolved optical gating (FROG) setup for ultrafast pulse characterization.
Developed software for simultaneous time and frequency resolved data acquisition, processing and nonlinear fitting within the LabView environment.
Designed and constructed a Mach-Zehnder interferometer, which allowed the imaging of turbulent profile of a superfluid He microjet.
Developed techniques and numerical models for data analysis using Mathematica and Origin Lab software.
Conducted experimental and theoretical studies of photodynamics in carbon nanotubes, and metal nanoparticles; as well as various thermo-, opto-, electro-mechanical phenomena in liquid crystals and isotropic fluids.
