Under the guidance of skilled professionals, I acquired a strong understanding of material properties, machining processes, and the intricacies of creating high-quality products. This experience laid the foundation for my passion for turning ideas into reality and continues to positively influence my technical expertise across diverse disciplines.

Science

I am a materials physicist with a focus on custom instrumentation. I have built one-of-a-kind, novel instruments for making precise measurements and improving accuracy. My investigations span liquid crystalline material properties, applications of single-crystal shape memory alloys, and the commercial fabrication of single-crystal SMA wires.

Instrumentation
My research approach emphasizes the design and construction of versatile, unique instruments for studying liquid crystal systems. Developing and building custom instruments from scratch offers significant benefits: Each machine is perfectly suited for its intended task, and costs far less than a commercial counterpart. By guiding students through the design, fabrication, and automation processes, I promote collaboration and foster meaningful learning experiences, something that Cal Poly's student-focused approach greatly supports. Breaking down research projects—including instrument design, fabrication, refinement, measurement, and analysis—into senior-project-sized tasks encourages teamwork and fosters effective collaboration. In today's era of open-source code and affordable micro-controllers, physics students can create robots, automate everyday tasks, and collect vast amounts of data from their surroundings. When designed to demonstrate or test a physical concept, these projects enable students to bring their imagination to life while fostering academic growth and engagement. Hands-on learning not only drives profound academic progress but instills a passion for physics that makes learning enjoyable for everyone.

Liquid Crystals

My research primarily focuses on the material properties and electro-optic applications of liquid crystals. These fascinating substances can be thought of as rod-shaped molecules. In their simplest phase, known as the nematic phase, liquid crystals exhibit preferential alignment with one another, displaying orientational but not positional order. They flow like typical liquids while demonstrating macroscopic anisotropy in accordance with their average alignment direction. While the preferential alignment exists, the exact direction of alignment remains arbitrary, making boundary forces crucial in determining the bulk phase's orientational behavior. The overall orientation is anchored in a preferred manner due to the prepared alignment surface. The anchoring interaction that determines liquid crystal alignment is not fully understood, which makes photoalignment surface properties an intriguing area of active research. Although mechanical confinement of liquid crystals is a relatively simple concept, it has garnered limited experimental attention. However, this confinement serves as an excellent tool for investigating photoalignment anchoring and generating novel defect structures on photo-aligned substrates. Moreover, I have explored in-situ photoalignment techniques to establish a well-defined relationship between incident light sources and liquid crystal directors in order to enhance conventional liquid crystal material characterizations.

Shape Memory Alloys

Automatic fire-suppression sprinklers play a crucial role in preventing property damage and saving lives. However, the widespread use of industry-standard glass-bulb sprinklers comes with a significant drawback: their delicate nature makes them susceptible to accidental breakage and sabotage. In the United States, an average of over 120 non-fire sprinkler activations occurs daily, leading to millions of dollars in property damage and lost business. Our innovative SMA-based sprinkler aims to offer the durability, performance, and affordability needed to become the new industry standard. "Shape-memory" refers to the ability of certain materials to recover from plastic deformation. Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are a class of active materials that experience a diffusionless solid-to-solid lattice distortion during a structural phase transformation, significantly altering their mechanical properties and shape. The key feature of this phase transition is a direct mapping of constituent atoms from one crystalline phase to another. Rather than undergoing random diffusion, atomic constituents shift correlatively from one configuration to the next, providing SMAs with unique characteristics suitable for various applications.

Teaching

A successful course hinges on a strong foundation, integrating engaging blackboard lectures, relevant homework assignments, supportive office hours, and a positive class culture. My lectures introduce topics concisely through step-by-step examples, addressing student misconceptions along the way. I design lecture notes as detailed resources for all learners, including those forced to miss class.

By incorporating enthusiasm, creative demonstrations, and a passion for the subject, my courses become immersive learning experiences. Students appreciate my excitement, dedication, and unwavering support amid challenges. In addition to establishing a positive learning environment, I also adapt flexibly to students' needs and encourage their input on course structure, making the learning experience more individualized and relatable.

Underpinning my approach is the belief that enjoyable and well-rounded educational experiences empower students to tackle complex problems while deepening their understanding. Furthermore, by encouraging open communication and mutual support among peers and instructors, my courses promote meaningful connections that extend far beyond the classroom.

Academic Success

I build my courses as a whole package, with beautiful documents, well-tailored assignments, hand-prepared solutions, engaging lecture slides, online video tutorials, and comprehensive exams.

Multimedia

In order to visualize dynamic phenomena and to engage students outside of the classroom, I produce rich multimedia content to enhance my courses. For my introductory courses I have produced two types of online videos: homework-style example videos, showing every step of the problem with commentary, and tutorial videos for extra instruction beyond the time constraints of in-class lecture. In addition, I have produced vector animations to illustrate time-dependent and three dimensional ideas that cannot be adequately communicated from the chalkboard.

Computation

Throughout my career as a physicist, I have maintained a parallel focus on both experimental and computational physics. My programming skills were initially developed and honed in all corners of my experimental work, including the development of sophisticated data analysis algorithms, coding novel simulations and building fully-automated experimental instruments.

Areas of Experience

Data Analysis
Machine Vision Optical Interference Measurement
In the course of my research I developed software implementing machine vision to optically measure the thickness of my liquid crystal sample. Without user intervention, the final code was able to reliably identify the center of bullseye interference pattern produced in my experiment. Further, the radial intensity of the resulting pattern was then sampled and averaged, the extrema automatically detected. By combining data from many interference patterns, we made a dynamic measurement of the of the evolving bullseye patterns. The resulting points were then fit to a calculated model, such that the thickness of the optical medium could be reliably extracted. The result was a novel mechanism for measuring in-situ sample thickness.
Liquid Crystal Defect Image Analysis
My investigation of topological defects in nematic liquid crystals led to the development of a machine-vision application for detecting and measuring defect loops. Using the software, I measured the evolution of defect loop's area and perimeter from high definition video clips captured during experimental observation.
Simulation
Adaptive 3D Director Simulation
I took a novel approach to developing a finite-difference numeric simulation for determining three dimensional liquid crystal director configurations. While the director relaxation is calculated by a program written in C, I exploited the symbolic manipulation of Mathematica to generate arbitrarily complicated C-syntax update equations. Using Mathematica, simulation parameters, including the core free-energy expression, can be inputted in familiar human-readable mathematical notation. My Mathematica code also allowed for external forces, periodic, weak or strong boundary conditions, irregular computational meshes (curved boundaries), and arbitrary coordinate systems and natural variables. By using Mathematica to generate the update equations for the C mother-code, the conditions of the simulation can be easily and drastically changed without the need for lengthy hand calculations or the tedious transcription of update equations character-by-character into lines of C-code. Further, the computationally-intensive relaxation mother-code was optimized for performance leveraging the speed advantages of C, free from the computational overhead of Mathematica at runtime.

Automation
Maskless Polarizing Photolithography System
I was a key member of a research team that designed and implemented a fully automated maskless polarized UV exposure system, for creating multi-domain photo-aligned liquid crystal substrates. The system is equipped with a DMD photo-modulator, multiple motorized translation stages, a motorized polarizer, and a confocal autofocus mechanism. The entire maskless system is automated through a custom developed LabView control application. The LabView code uses dozens of VIs and relies on an event-queue structure to manage the automation of several tasks including: DMD image display, focus motor control, polarization motor control, UV shutter timing, focus peak acquisition and peak detection, and motorized translation of the lower stage substrate.
Dynamic Cell System
In the course of my research, I designed and fabricated a liquid crystal observation system that can dynamically change the twist angle, thickness and temperature of a liquid crystal sample. The twist angle is varied through a mechanical rotation of the cell’s bottom substrate. A stepper motor, piezo actuator and capacitance sensor provide precise closed loop positioning of the upper substrate relative to the bottom substrate. The temperature is regulated by circulating water through a custom thermal chamber which encloses the liquid crystal sample. A schematic diagram of the entire system is shown below. An integrated polarizing microscope, illumination system and camera allow in-situ observation. The system is operated and automated using LabView. The software can vary the thickness, twist, take time lapse photographs, monitor the distance sensor as well as automate these processes for extended data collection. The underlying LabView control was designed with an event-based state-machine architecture to decouple user interaction from data acquisition and processing.
Automation: Other Areas of Experience
  • Arduino data capture, motor control, and system interfacing
  • Labview-based data collection for introductory physics undergraduate laboratory exercises
  • Extensive G-Code programming, automated code generation and fabrication workflow development for computer-controlled milling machines
