I have recently finished my Ph.D. in the Department of Physics at Duke University. My dissertation is on pattern-forming nonlinear optics, and I have also worked on projects studying slow-light in optical fiber and the application of such systems to quantum and classical information science.
More can be found at my Duke homepage.
