Full CV

Research

I am an experiment condensed matter physicist studying superfluidity in liquid and solid helium. Specifically my research focusses on the continuing search for a superfluid phase in solid helium (the so-called supersolid phase). Currently I am working on developing novel techniques to control interatomic interactions on liquid helium in an effort to forge a new path to creating solid helium.

In this effort I run the Sacramento State Low Temperature Physics Laboratory, where we are building the apparatus that will allow us to cool to our samples to 1.5 K (-269^oC). For more information please visit the laboratory page by using the link above.
