Updated the undergraduate curriculum and developed projects to alleviate the budget crisis facing the university. Here's what I've accomplished in just three months:Created a new set of discovery based lab classes utilizing students' natural sense of curiosity. These new labs move away from the cookbook-style instruction traditionally found in physics and.

• Graduate Student Researcher - with a diverse list of specialties including: Optical Engineering, Computational Optics, Digital Holography, Biomechanics and Metamaterials.
• Programmed extensively in Matlab, and LabView for data analysis, simulation modeling, and automation. Familiar with Python, AutoCAD, Zemax and Linux.
• Collaborated with physicists, biologists, computer scientists, mechanical engineers and electrical engineers from around the world.
• Analyzed current state-of-the-art research, prioritized various research directions, identified key barriers to completion and brainstormed solutions to overcome obstacles.
• Designed and implemented a holographic (3D) microscope to study small (live) aquatic organisms: – Combined Fourier optics with low-cost laser-printed parts on an optical bench to record live, 3D video, coded into a.
• Skilled in Optical Metrology: – Designed and built a femtosecond Michelson interferometer, an order of magnitude more accurate than standard off-the-shelf systems, and designed to measure the index of refraction.

Berkeley, CA

- Instructed introductory physics and corresponding laboratory classes to 40 students each semester.- Independently developed course content and demonstrations that supplemented lab/lecture materials and enhanced student learning.

San Francisco Bay Area

Specialized in: Nonlinear Photonic Crystals, Optical Waveguides, Bandgap waveguides, Optical Defect states, and Photorefractive effects.Created a 2D photonic lattice, both with and without defect states, in a nonlinear photonic crystal (SBN 60). These photonic lattices are similar to photonic crystal fibers but with a completely reconfigurable lattice..

Stockton, California

• Deployed and managed the IT infrastructure for the development, outfit, and operation of a 10,000 seat sports arena hosting 3 different sports teams.
• Coordinated with multiple vendors to implement AV systems, telecommunications and high speed internet throughout the building, display systems, kiosks, and POS systems.
• Budgeted and purchased over $200,000 of servers and workstations.
• Supported over 20 full-time staff members.

Davis, California

• Assembled the IT infrastructure for a new, high-tech fitness center complete with 500-person-capacity meeting rooms and supporting over 36,000 students and faculty.
• Worked with vendors to provide integrated AV throughout the facility, database driven entry gates, video scoreboards and live video production for games.
• Budgeted and purchased over $100,000 of servers and workstations.
• Hired and managed 6 part-time employees. Supported 10 full-time and ~250 part-time staff.

Prescott, AZ

• Conducted cost-benefit and product analyses to increase staff efficiency. Implemented best product and boosted IT productivity 4 times over.
• Conducted a review of the campus’ technology services and implemented policies resulting in: a new multimedia computer lab, an online grading system, and new computer classes.
• Designed and conducted staff workshops on Web design, MS Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. Provided 24/7 access to these classes with online lessons.
