Research Activities

My research focus tends to revolve around improving the understanding of physical phenomena which more often than not requires that an instrument needs to be developed to gather the required data. More often than not, this work is closely tied to optics and optical engineering. Much of the work is conducted at OPAL at New Mexico Tech and covers a wide range of topics.
