Fourth Year Graduate Student
I am working on the microfabrication of Si resonators for operation as optomechanical inertial sensors at cryogenic temperatures. I will be researching how these devices compare to our high frequency compact fused silica resonators. I am interested in micro/nanofabrication techniques, opto-mechanical resonators, and optical metrology.
