It is my intention to always conduct research at the
apex of where technology and science meet, where interdisciplinary knowledge is
exploited. My research field focuses on fundamental problems in advanced
technologies in laser applications and energy transport, especially those that
interface with emerging areas such as life sciences and nanotechnology. The
goals of my research are (1) to understand fundamentals in radiation transfer
processes and photon-matter interactions in emerging technologies in small
scale time and/or length; (2) to develop interdisciplinary research in life
sciences and engineering using my professional background in physics and
engineering; (3) to solve important engineering problems; (4) to improve human
health; (5) to make contributions to the advancement of the state-of-the-art in
technology; and (6) to integrate research with education to provide outstanding
teaching for undergraduate and graduate students, to attract more women and
minorities to science and engineering, and to outreach industries with emerging
technologies.
