I am doing postdoctoral research in the material science division at Argonne National Laboratory. My research interests include the synthesis of  transition-metal oxides using molecular beam epitaxy and investigating the transport and magnetic properties of these materials. I have also been studying spin transport using unconventional magnetic materials, such as geometrically frustrated systems.
