Research Interests:
Ultrafast Optical Spectroscopy of Materials
Time-Integrated Optical Spectroscopy of Materials
Terahertz (far-infrared) Spectroscopy
Correlated Electron Materials
Metamaterials and Plasmonics
My main research interest is using time-resolved and time-integrated optical spectroscopic techniques to interrogate the fundamental and applied properties of materials. My research spans from the far-infrared through the visible and includes materials ranging from correlated electron materials to metamaterials.
