I am currently working in David Awschalom's laboratory at UC Santa Barbara, studying spin dynamics in semiconductors for potential applications in quantum computing.

In 2007-2008 I worked at LASUAM at the Autonomous University of Madrid, studying electrochemically-patterned magnetic arrays at the nano-scale.

In 2005-2007 I worked in Walter Smith's laboratory at Haverford College, studying the optoelectronic properties of porphyrin nanostructures.
