My work is made possible by continuing support from the National Science foundation through a CAREER Award from the Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS) and through the Materials Research in Science and Engineering Center at the University of Chicago that is funded by the Division of Materials Research (DMR). In the past, my work was supported by research grants from the NSF, the Alfred P. Sloan Jr. foundation (1999-2003) and the Office of Naval Research (1995-1996).

I have a short description of my ongoing research here. For a longer description of all my research activities, click here.
