SECTION I – EXPERTISE AND EDUCATION
EXPERTISE
• Simultaneously managing several research projects as well as pursuing my own research
interests, while stimulating colleagues to perform at their highest level and creativity.
• Linear and nonlinear optical characterization from the ultraviolet to the mid-infrared spectral
region using temporal regimes from femtosecond to nanosecond pulses widths.
• Nonlinear optical characterization with and of femtosecond white light supercontinuum generation in
condensed media and gasses.
• Sample characterization specialties include pi-conjugated organic systems, as well as, non-
conjugated small molecules, polymers, wide- and narrow-gap semiconductors including quantum
dots, photochromics, organic and inorganic nanomaterials, polymeric-nanomaterial composites,
photonic band gap materials and structures, rare-earth doped sol-gels, glasses, films, and fibers.
• Optical and electro-optical characterization of organic small molecule and polymeric based
devices such as organic light emitting diode (OLED) and organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices.
• Experienced in the preparation of various nanomaterial containing composites and coatings and
their destructive and non-destructive electrical, thermal and optical characterization.
• Working knowledge of various electron imaging and scanning probe microscopies.

For the last six years, I have successfully multitasked multiple programs and their respective managerial
and scientific duties with the ability to pursue my own research interests in the linear and nonlinear
optical characterization and modeling of various optical materials (π-conjugated and non-conjugated
organics, wide/narrow gap semiconductors, glasses, plasmonic nanostructures, etc.) and the
development and analysis of new experimental techniques (white light continuum generation for Z-scan
and pump-probe and the double-pump probe technique for long-lived absorptions, etc.). These
responsibilities include: (1) running the daily operations of a large research team of graduate students,
post-doctoral and visiting scientists; (2) training of graduate and the occasional undergraduate and high
school students, in theory and laboratory practice which involved a multi-disciplined knowledge of
physics, optics, material science and chemistry to become independent researchers and to build their
knowledge and skill-set, as well, as expanding my own; (3) maintaining multiple laser systems and
laboratory operations, while guiding experimental design, setup and acquisition; (4) numerical
modeling and simulation of linear and nonlinear light-matter interactions; (5) writing manuscripts and
presentations for journals, conferences, proposals and program reviews, with the ability to tailor each
for the intended audience with the additional ability to effectively communicate complex concepts and
ideas at various levels to the intended audiences level of understanding; (6) the ability to motivate,
work with, and manage a diverse group of researchers to meet planned and unplanned deadlines; and
(7) successfully work with and help organize multiple collaborations, both nationally and
internationally, specializing in research fields such as nonlinear optics (NLO), chemistry, materials
science, physics, organic and inorganic device fabrication and both modeling and simulations of light-
matter interactions. In summary, my strength have permitted me to simultaneously manage multiple
research projects while both pursuing personal research objectives while challenging colleagues to
perform at their highest level of creativity.

MENTORSHIP
Mentoring is an ideal practice to help others and to broaden your own understanding of the difficulties
and decisions that are faced while allowing for your own empathic learning and development. I have
had the privilege of working with students and colleagues at various stages in their career during
difficult times when their future direction was unclear or not what they had envisioned. By providing a
comfortable atmosphere of trust and understanding, I endeavor to offer support by listening, providing
a “sounding board” and offering my opinion and experiences when appropriate, sometimes limited in
particular cases, to help the individual come to their own realization of their current situation and
options. Throughout my higher education I have had mentors, although I didn’t realize it at the time,
that guided me through my own difficult times, and I only hope that I might have the insight and
patience to help others as well.

SECTION III – RESEARCH EXPERIENCE AND INTERESTS
RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
Currently a Senior Research Scientist at the University of Central Florida in the College of Optics and
Photonics (CREOL) working in the Nonlinear Optics group directed by Drs. Eric Van Stryland and
David Hagan. From 2003 to 2004, managed and maintained the optics facility in the Center for
Nanotechnology and Molecular Materials at Wake Forest University under the direction of Dr. David
L. Carroll. From September 2000 until 2003, responsible for managing and maintaining the optics
division of the Center for Optical Materials Science and Engineering Technologies (COMSET) under
the direction of Dr. John Ballato at Clemson University.
These positions have afforded me the opportunity to conduct a diverse array of projects from conception
through design, implementation and completion into a product or publishable output. My research
focus has been on the linear and nonlinear optical characterization and modeling of various optical
materials (π-conjugated and non-conjugated organics, wide/narrow gap semiconductors, glasses,
plasmonic nanostructures, etc.) and the development and analysis of new experimental techniques
(white light continuum generation for Z-scan and pump-probe and the double-pump probe technique
for long-lived absorptions, etc.). My work within these research groups involved projects ranging from
nanomaterials growth, scanning probe microscopy (AFM, SNOM, STM) and electron microscopy
(SEM, TEM, EELS), to polymeric electro-optical device fabrication and testing (organic-LEDs
(OLEDs) and organic-photovoltaics (OPVs)). This diverse variety of projects required frequent
collaborations and provided a strong working knowledge of many experimental techniques and
scientific disciplines.
RESEARCH INTERESTS
I am particularly interested in understanding how structural modifications affect the nonlinear optical
properties of organic and nanostructured materials. Applications of these engineered organic systems
with enhancement from nanomaterials will facilitate the next generation of passive nonlinear
transmissive, reflective and absorptive devices. Noble metal nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes and
other exotic nanomaterials, such as polymeric and boron nitride nanotubes, are of interest for
4

engineered energy transfer and plasmon coupled systems. Other interests include photonic band gap
structures for nonlinear optical applications and the development of negative index of refraction
metamaterials from ordered (hard) to disordered (soft) nanostructure composites. My objective is to
work with, and manage, a multidisciplinary team of scientists to solve challenging problems, create
new technologies and to progress physical understanding for current and future applications and
devices.
