"Awarded a Ph. D. in Materials Science from Duke University in May 2009, I am actively seeking Post-Doctoral and tenure-track faculty positions.  My work at Duke has led to 9 refereed journal publications (including papers in Nature, Nanoletters, Advanced Materials, with 2 more currently in submission), 2 book chapters, and over 22 conference presentations world-wide."
