Internet/Web Developer
Designed, installed, administered and developed code for Internet sites
with World Wide Web servers in Philadelphia (membrane.com), and Columbus
caspian.colmicrosys.com, situ.com). Currently developing software for
encryption, authentication and commerce over the Internet; especially
dealing with credit card transactions, mortgage loan applications, and
privacy enhanced mail.
Visiting Physics Scholar, Ohio State University
Installed and maintained several networked computers, on OS/2 Linux,
Sun and Vax platforms. Data analysis for an atomic scattering experiment
on IBM-PC, Mac, VAX, and Sun computers. Assisted in ongoing experiments
on excitations in superfluid 4He at 40 mK. Assisted in installation of
an Oxford dilution refrigerator.
Post-Doctoral Physics Research, Pennsylvania State University
Designed, built and performed experiments for varietal precision heat capacity
measurements of 4He films on Vycor, aerogel, and graphite substrates
at temperatures from 5 mK to 1 K. wetting studies of 4He on cesium
surfaces near the lambda point. Assisted in torsional oscillator
experiments of the superfluid fraction of 4He in porous glasses.
Graduate Research Associate, Ohio State University
Ph.D. thesis : Measurements of Diffuse and Specular Scattering of 4He
Atoms from 4He films. Experiments at T = 0.1 to 0.4 K of scattering of
helium atoms from superfluid films on glass and mica substrates.
Theoretical studies of the rough crystal-superfluid interface.
