Summary

My research focuses on electron microscopy characterization of materials. I apply atomic-resolution Z-contrast microscopy and electron energy loss spectroscopy to problems in semiconductor growth and defects and photonic materials. I also use systematic electron diffraction measurements (fluctuation electron microscopy) to study nanoscale ordering in glassy materials, including metallic, oxide, and chalcogenide glasses.
