• Advanced General Physics (PHYS 181) is the second semester of a first year introductory physics course. This is calculus based and is the second class in the hierarchy of first year physics courses at Yale. The spring semester cover waves and optics, electricity and magnetism, and touches briefly on special relativity and quantum mechanics. The 2009 syallbus is here. I also made some help files, one on diffraction and a few quantum animations of wave function time evolution in some simple cases: they can all be found here.

• Basic Quantum Mechanics (APHY 439) is an undergraduate level introduction to quantum mechanics in one semester. We use the excellent Griffiths textook. You can find the syllabus on the classes2.yale.edu server. For this class, I created a number of animations showing the time evolution of wave functions in a number of different cases. You can get them here.

• Theory of Solids I is a a joint Applied Physics and Physics course (course numbers ENAS 856a / PHYS 650). It is an advanced graduate level course which assumes mastery of solid state physics on the level of Ashcroft & Mermin and Kittel and introduces more advanced concepts and recent research in the field of theoretical solid state physics. All lecture notes and problem sets are in PDF form. The lecture notes are based on my own notes building on a year-long sequence I took from John Joannopoulos at MIT as well as lectures I taught for Steven Louie and Marvin Cohen while at Berkeley --- I owe them a lot for their excellent teaching. You can see the 2004 syllabus here. I also created a Brief matlab tutorial for the homework problems in this class.

I am teaching APHY 439 Basic Quantum Mechanics this fall (2008); I taught this class last fall as well. This is an advanced undergraduate level introduction to this material. You can find the syllabus on the classes2.yale.edu server. I've taught ENAS 194a, an undergraduate differential equations class, a number of times in the past.

Research interests:

I am an Assistant Professor in the Applied Physics Department. My work deals with first principles calculations of the physics of condensed matter systems, particularly solid state systems. My current focus is on optical properties and photoluminescence in molecules and solid-state defects. In the past, I have studied dislocations in metals and semiconductors, reactions in solutions, surfaces and interfaces, and the mechanical and electronic properties of nanowires and nanotubes. Thus the methods can be applied to many problems of current interest.

You can also see the group research description for more details.

Teaching:

I am teaching ENAS 194a Ordinary and Partial Differential Equations with Applications this fall (2006); I taught this class last fall as well. This is an advanced undergraduate level introduction to this material. You can find the syllabus on the classes2.yale.edu server.

I taught Theory of Solids I in the fall semesters of 2003 and 2004. The course is a joint Applied Physics and Physics course (course numbers ENAS 856a / PHYS 650). It is an advanced graduate level course which assumes mastery of solid state physics on the level of Ashcroft & Mermin and Kittel and introduces more advanced concepts and recent research in the field of theoretical solid state physics. All lecture notes and problem sets are in PDF form and were posted on the Yale classes server. Some links related to the course:
