Spearhead the numerical modeling effort for the ultrafast nonlinear optics projects under Prof. Franz Kärtner at MIT's Research Laboratory of Electronics in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Simulate and experimentally achieve high harmonic generation (HHG) with photon energies extending into the so-called water window. Use unique confining geometries to enhance HHG performance. Maintain an array of high-powered laser sources, including those which are cryogenically cooled or fiber based.

Sole Teaching Assistant for a Senior level course in Cornell University's Applied and Engineering Physics Department. Created and typed problem set solution keys and graded all homework assignments. Designed and taught weekly discussion sections to extend and reinforce course material. Typed course notes and supplemented with discussion section material.

Created numerical model of the laser pulses available in the group of Prof. Alexander Gaeta at Cornell University for the purposes of optimizing the performance of a nonlinear laser pulse compressor. Analyzed, both in simulations and in the lab, the effect of input wavefront phase on the propagation dynamics of ultrashort optical pulses.

Studied the optical properties of a novel avalanche detector. Theoretically analyzed the error sensitivity of traditional ion beam analysis techniques to the angle of incidence. Gave contributed talk at the 2012 Conference on the Application of Accelerators in Research and Industry (CAARI), during which I rose to a position of leadership amongst graduate student conference assistants and coordinated many behind-the-scenes operations.

Processed data in the Magnetic Reconnection Experiment under the guidance of Dr. Masaaki Yamada. Complied and analyzed data, using MATLAB, in an effort to study the behavior of differently charged particles in the turbulent magnetic reconnection layer.

Assisted attorneys in preparing closing documents for financial transactions, during summer 2009, winter 2010 and summer 2010. Developed processes and automated programs to streamline the preparation of documents in the debt-trading department of the Firm. Proposed and implemented systems to create further efficiencies in the paralegal department.
