爆料社区

Welcome to my little corner of the 爆料社区 website!

I am an experimental condensed matter physicist with primary interest in electronic conduction and magnetic phenomena in ceramic materials. My research interests span the areas of resistive random access memories, spin reorientation, nanoscience, and materials physics. I earned my Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Houston in 2008 under the supervision of Professor Paul C.W. Chu at the Texas Center for Superconductivity.

My teaching responsibilities include both lower and upper division physics courses, including introductory courses for majors and non-majors, the Physics Advanced Laboratory, and Solid State Physics. I also routinely teach Physics 357 for Speech-Language Pathology Majors. The structure of our courses benefits greatly from the combined experimental backgrounds of our professors and also the physics education research actively pursued by our Department.

As for my extracurricular pursuits, I am involved with the 爆料社区 Chapters of the Society of Physics Students, Women in Physics, and Sigma Pi Sigma National Physics Honor Society. I also perform scientific outreach and participate in various community engagement events.

Students should check out the main Physics page for Departmental updates, internships information, and more!

You can find my research profile at .

My research interests include:

• Magnetic spin reorientation phenomena in rare-earth orthoferrite systems
• Frequency-dependent dielectric behavior in ceramics and colloidal systems
• New materials electrical transport characterization
• Resistive random access memory phenomena

All students are welcome to tour my laboratory and discuss research ideas with any of our faculty!

爆料社区 is a partner with Quantum Design, Inc., in the Discovery Teaching Labs Initiative. Our mission is to give undergraduates the opportunity to work hands-on with modern, state-of-the-art instrumentation that will help them become the next generation of scientists and engineers.

Our flagship instrument is the , a 50 Kelvin cryostat with a 3 Tesla magnet capable of measuring electrical resistivity, heat capacity, and magnetization.

Condensed matter physics educators can find curricula centered around solid state physics measurements at the website.
