Research

I do research on the optical properties of semiconductors, with an emphasis in spin properties and semiconductor nanostructures. For more details see my research group website.

A Cappella Club

I'm the faculty advisor for the BYU A Cappella Club. Visit our website, Facebook page, or YouTube channel for more information.

Other Hobbies

I periodically review a cappella music for the Recorded A Cappella Review Board.

I sing in the Utah Baroque Ensemble.

I play table tennis at the BYU Ping Pong Club and the Orem Table Tennis Club.
