Research Interests:

I am interested in the fundamental origins and behavior of atomic-scale adhesion, friction, and wear. Initial projects include the characterization of carbon-based scanning probe tips and their evolution with wear testing. Techniques used include atomic force microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Future projects will include in-situ imaging of nanotribological phenomena.
