Research Interests
Magnetic, optical and electrical properties of materials, magneto-elastic properties, magneto-plastic properties, measurement techniques, adaptive optics, materials properties of transition metal oxides and properties of transition metal oxide - silicon heterojunction devices, magnetic anisotropy in permalloy thin films.
Teaching Interests
Any method that increases student engagement in my classes and labs. I'm mesmerized by tutorials, clicker questions, the use of mini-lectures by students, and class-wide discussions to supplement chalk board lectures and enhance the learning going on in my class room.
