Research Interests

I am currently in the California Nanosystems Institute at UC Santa Barbara, working on micro cooling systems for microprocessors. I did my PhD at UC Santa Barbara, in the lab of Prof. Noel C. MacDonald where I worked on Bulk Titanium MEMS. My focus was on high aspect ratio Titanium micromachining, surface modification to form nano-structured titania, and design-fabrication-test of titanium MEMS switches.
