I am in Professor William Johnson's group at Caltech. We study Bulk Metallic Glasses (BMGs). My overall research interests lie in the development of novel lightweight amorphous alloys as well as thermal and mechanical properties of metastable materials.

I spent my first year taking classes and learning the basics of our lab equipment. I spent my second year trying to develop a new magnesium-based glass, unfortunately I did not discover the magical alloy - but I learned a lot about magnesium and processing lightweight and difficult to handle alloys. The bulk of my thesis work involves utilizing acoustic measurements to study the elastic properties of BMGs in the deeply under-cooled liquid. During the course of my research, I have designed and constructed a novel apparatus to measure both low (to LN2 temperature) and high temperature (up to 500C) in situ sound velocities of BMGs.
