• An Empirical Charge Redistribution Model for Water Potentials in Biophysical Systems
a technical summary of my research with S.M. Valone and S.R. Atlas published in Los Alamos Summer School Research Reports, Vol. 7. LA-UR-04-6222 (2004) is available from the Los Alamos Summer School website, and here is my power point presentation of this work for the APS March 2005 meeting.
• Nano-Photonique Quantique: L'emission de fluorescence de nanocristaux organiques et de molecules individuelles, et Statistique d'emission de photons uniques
I researched in the Laboratoire de Photonique Quantique et Moleculaire at Ecole Normale Superieure de Cachan for October 2003 through June 2004, thanks to a Fulbright grant. Here's a presentation (ppt) I gave on my research at the Fulbright MidYear Meeting in Rennes; I also have a blurb I wrote at the end of my Fulbright in June 2004.
• Photon Echo and Single Molecule Fluorescence Measurements of Organic Dyes in Thin Polymer Films
my APS presentation and Sigma Xi poster with Swarthmore College physics professor Carl Grossman, Spring 2003
• Lambda-b Polarization in the LHC-ATLAS Experiment
blurb, poster (ppt), and technical summary (pdf) of my CERN research with Homer A. Neal, University of Michigan REU Summer 2003
