I am a postdoctoral fellow in Salmeron's group and work with Jim Schuck in the Imaging and Manipulation of Nanostructures Facility of Molecular Foundry. My current research is focusing on the optical study of nanostructures such as bowtie antennas and the combination of optical spectroscopy with scanning force microscope.
