Research Assistant June 2009 – January 2011
Institute of Optics | University of Rochester
• Designed, built, and tested control circuitry for an ellipsometer experiment designed by Dr. Jim Zavislan
• Designed MATLAB software to fit Fourier coefficents of data to extract polarization of light; fit polarization data to model to determine thickness and index of refraction of lipid layer of the human eye.
• Using MATLAB, contributed to developing software which detected Sjorgen’s Syndrome using thermal images of the eye from patients.
Research Assistant October 2013 – present
LIGO Research Group | Gainesville, FL
• Characterized two 1550nm external cavity Diode Lasers
• Designed and aligned triangular cavity, and designed optics for mode matching two lasers
• Designed Labview Software and Hardware to frequency and phase lock lasers to a high finesse cavity. The Pound-Drever-Hall technique was used to lock laser to cavity frequency.
• MATLAB thermal simulations for self-phase modulation in cavity
• Goal of my experiment is to analyze the deformation of airy peaks to determine thermal characteristics of silicon and 1550...
