Fall 2011
This Fall I am having the experience of real teaching at college level. I have the opportunity to teach General Chemistry Laboratory I and II, as well as Environmental Science Laboratory I at Hostos Community College / CUNY.
Teaching at Hostos has been a unique opportunity to acquire new skills and learn. I truly believe that teaching is an excellent way to learn about oneself, reinforce knowledge and achieve a greater mastery level of learning.

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”

Soon I will be pursuing a PhD in Engineering. Hopefully working on a project in the lines of my interests. My background experience in many research projects, conference presentations and teaching skills will give me the tools to excel in the endeavor of working toward a PhD.
My Research

"A Compact Source of Entangled Photon Pairs" Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Stockholm, Sweden
My latest research project took place at The Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm, Sweden. I was working at the Laboratory of Photonics, and Quantum Electronics, at the KTH Kista campus. My project was developing a Compact Source of Entangled Photon Pairs under the supervision of Dr. Sébastien Sauge. This is has been a long term project.

"Chalcogenide glass microlenses by inkjet printing" Princeton University, Princeton, NJ
Before KTH, I worked at Princeton University for 2 years; initially as a REU student during Summer 2008, and later hired as a part-time assistant researcher. My project, chalcogenide glass microlenses by inkjet printing, supervised by Prof. Craig B. Arnold, consisted in developing a solution-based method for fabrication of microlenses utilizing a solution of arsenic sulfide. After obtaining a stable method, the microlenses obtained were characterized through several techniques. My dedication and effort on this project became my first publication .
