About
I am interested in the study of nanoelectronic devices and materials -- for instance, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and quantum wires -- whose sizes are just a few tens or hundreds of nanometers. At this scale, quantum effects lead to intriguing new phenomena which, in turn, open the door to novel technological applications such as smaller and denser computing devices. I am also committed to Physics education, having been a tutor and teacher since my high-school days.
