Biography

I am currently a PhD. Candidate in the materials department at UCSB working under the guidance of Prof. Jim Speck. My research is focused on experimental physics aimed at understanding the fundamental physics involved in GaN based LEDs. I work on a one of a kind ultra-high vacuum system designed to understand the physical efficiency loss mechanisms present in LEDs.
