I am an experimental scientist working with multiple research groups that bridge the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering. I enjoy helping people to advance their research by applying my knowledge of micro- and nanoscale characterization and fabrication techniques to solve problems across a variety of disciplines.My past research has included work on adapting and integrating carbon nanotubes and other synthetic nanotechnology into biological systems for use as subcellular probes and biosensors. As part of a team in graduate school, I also developed a number of techniques for the precise manipulation and atomic-scale modification of carbon nanotubes, which we used to construct the world's smallest synthetic rotational motor (the "nanotube nanomotor"). I have also studied extracellular electron transfer and conductive nanowire production in dissimilatory metal reducing bacteria.In my work outside the lab, I developed and launched an industrial affiliate membership program encompassing all nanotechnology research at UC Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. I also created a recharge outreach program at UC Santa Cruz that provides electron microscopy and focused ion beam milling to the campus and community at large.Expertise:Scanning electron microscopy, Transmission electron microscopy, Atomic force microscopy, Energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, Electron beam lithography, Clean room fabrication techniques, Electronic transport measurement, High vacuum design and materials, Machine shop and metal working, Molecular cloning, Biological AFM, Confocal fluorescence microscopy, Carbon nanotube expertise, Soft lithography,Opto/microfluidic devices,Technology transfer
