RESEARCH
EXPERIENCE
Virginia Commonwealth
University, Department of Physics, Richmond, VA. (2001-present)
Associate Professor, with
a joint appointment in the School of Engineering.
Virginia Commonwealth
University, Department of Physics, Richmond, VA. (1996-2001)
Assistant Professor, with
a joint appointment in the School of Engineering.
Initiated a surface science
research program to study the structural and electronic properties of metal and
semiconductor systems using primarily the techniques of scanning tunneling
microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS), low-energy electron diffraction (LEED), and
Auger electron spectroscopy.
Naval Research
Laboratory, Washington, DC,
NRC Research Associate. (1993-96)
Studied the structure and stability of high-index silicon surfaces oriented
between the (001) and (111) planes. Using STM in collaboration with
first-principles electronic-structure calculations, established the first
atomic-scale models of two newly discovered stable faces.
