Theoretical Investigations of Electron Spins in Semiconductor Nanostructures

I am a last-year graduate student at the University of Iowa studying electron and hole spin properties and g-tensors in quantum dots (specifically, InAs/GaAs quantum dots). I hope to defend my dissertation in July 2008 and begin work shortly thereafter.

I perform my calculations on a cluster of Mac or Linux computers using a strain-dependent k-dot-p theory which was developed by Bahder and implemented numerically by Craig Pryor. Together with Craig and Michael Flatté, I have published and am in the process of publishing several papers. I'm also actively working with Craig on developing his code further and support some new areas of investigation.

I have not yet settled on a post-doc position yet, so if you are interested in hiring a physicist-programmer who specializes in calculating spin properties in quantum dots, you probably want to read my curriculum vitae.
