Teaching

PHYS 251 Experimental Atomic Physics (Fall 2007,2008)

PHYS 475 Introduction to Mathematical Physics (Spring 2007, 2008)

Research

My research interests are in experimental Atomic, Molecular and Optical physics (AMO). In particular, I study coherent interaction of light with atoms to control and manipulate optical properties of atomic ensembles, such as Electromagnetically Induced Transparency (EIT), slow and stored light, resonant Raman processes, etc. (More details here)
