I received my B.S. in Applied Science from the
University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill (1996) and my M.S. in Physics from Colorado
State University (1998). I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in the Physics Department
at Colorado State University, specializing in high pressure physics.
During the summer of 1997 I researched the effects of temperature and pressure on semiconductor lasers at the University of Surrey in Guildford, England. Last summer I was at the University of Potsdam in Potsdam, Germany studying the effects of pressure and temperature on template synthesized conducting polymers by using transport and Raman scattering measurements.
I am currently involved in high pressure, low temperature optical studies of KTbP2Se6 and Cs2MoS4.
