Research Projects

See my resume, given above, for more in-depth descriptions of my research projects. Projects with reports that I can release will have a link next to them.

1.Fall 2009-Present Sandia National Laboratories, Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies, Dr. Dale Huber

Spectroscopic study of how the crystalline structure of iron and the binding of various organic surfactants influences the magnetic properties of iron nanoparticles.

2. Summer 2009 Columbia University, Nanoscale Science Engineering Center, Prof. Tony Heinz

Raman spectroscopy of graphene trilayers with different stacking orders. click for reports. see MATLAB section for the program I wrote for analysis.

3. Summer 2008-Summer 2009 Sandia National Laboratories, Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies, Dr. Dale Huber

Engineering of magnetite nanoparticles with PEG-diacid. An intermediate step in the synthesis of particles fit for use in the attempted treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

4. Fall 2007-Summer 2008 Sandia National Laboratories, Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies, Dr. Dale Huber

Surface modification of metallic iron nanoparticles, with organic molecules of specific functionality, in order to achieve novel magnetic properties. click for report

5. Summer 2007 Los Alamos National Laboratory, Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies, Dr. Sergei Ivanov

Surface modification of CdSe and CdTe semiconductor quantum dots for the enhancement of light emitting properties. click for report

6. Summer 2006 Los Alamos National Laboratory, Center for Nonlinear Studies, Donald Thompson

I built computers, rectified hardware related issues, and set up computing clusters

7. Summer 2005 Los Alamos National Laboratory, Center for Nonlinear Studies, Dr. Zoltan Toroczkai

I developed, from scratch, the webpage for the Center for Nonlinear Studies

Publications

1. (in progress, not true title) Spectroscopic study of the effect of crystalline structure and the interaction of the acetylacetonate surfactant on the magnetic properties of iron nanoparticles.
2. (possibly in the future?) Raman spectroscopy of graphene trilayers with different stacking orders

MATLAB Programs

a few matlab programs that I coded in the past, with animations or cool plots! If a program has multiple cells, run each cell individually, manually.

1. Program to distinguish between ABA and ABC stacking regions in graphene trilayers. I wrote this during the Columbia REU Program

2. Mandelbrot Fractal Animation

3. Double Pendulum Simulation and Animation

4. 3D Binary Star Simulation and Animation

5. Basic Wave Polarization Animation

6. Forced Membrane PDE with Animation and Chladni Figure

7. Propagation of the first n-eigenstates in a box with Animation

8. 3D Orbitals of the Hydrogen Atom! Requires this Laguerre Polynomial Generator. I didn't code the generator and it can be obtained here: here!

Miscellaneous

• My Junior Lab Reports
• Pajarito Ski Area Snow Report
