Fiber laser engineer working on new fiber laser products in a vertically integrated company with enormous potential. I have 10+ years of kW CW fiber laser and amplifier design and 9 years of experience with ultrafast solid-state lasers and their applications in chemical reaction dynamics and nonlinear spectroscopy.Expertise:High Average Power Fiber Lasers and AmplifiersPulsed Fiber Lasers and AmplifiersFiber Laser Design and ModelingOptical EngineeringUltrafast Optics and LasersNonlinear Optics and Frequency ConversionPulse CompressionOPAs and Difference Frequency GenerationPump-Probe SpectroscopyReaction DynamicsInterfacesCareer Goals:Although my degree is in the field of physical chemistry, I have over 10 years of experience with ultrafast lasers and optics, including optical design and modeling. I have manipulated light across the electromagnetic spectrum, from the UV to the IR. I am currently realizing the fast-paced, results driven environment that is product development. I am leading efforts to design and manufacture laser systems capable of delivering kWs of average power for use in materials processing. I strive to be a team oriented problem solver and a data driven decision maker, sponging up as much as I can from my brilliant co-workers.

Listed skills include Spectroscopy, Optics, Physical Chemistry, Laser, and 31 others.
