Research Interests

My research focuses on understanding complex and active electronic materials. I am also interested in spin dynamics and spin transport in ferromagnetic semiconductor thin films and heterostructures as well as quantum effects in biological systems. My laboratories are proximal to Prof. Valerie Goss at CSU, and our groups work together to identify and characterize novel materials for quantum science.  To this end, we are working to establish a quantum certificate program to credential students and bring them into the Quantum Institute workforce field, in addition to creating a critical mass at CSU within Quantum Science.  This program will be crafted with input from industry and academia – including collaborators at UChicago and UIC.  The goal of the program will be to give students the skills they need to seek employment in the growing quantum tech sector within Chicago.
