I am now in the Physics PhD program at Columbia University. My research interests mainly include observing bizarre physical behavior of electrons in Gallium Arsenide semiconductors. These "quantum" phenomena are a window into understanding the strange physics that occurs when electrons are confined to two spatial dimensions. We are specifically investigating the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect and trying to experimentally obtain certain parameters that, in physical theory, describe electron interactions. Applications of this research include semiconductor improvement and quantum computation, a new mechanism that would revolutionize information processing and technology by exponentially increasing computational power.
