I am PhD student of experimental physics at the University of California, San Diego, department of Physics.  Currently I work in the group of Professor Leonid Butov. We do mostly table-top (more accurately - optical table top) experiments to study physics of quasiparticles in semiconductors at low and not-so-low temperatures.

In addition to performing experiments directly related to my thesis, I do quite a bit of nanofabrication (e-beam lithography and such) and develop software to automate experiments and data analysis.

Between 2003 and 2006 I worked in the group of Professor Alexey Bezryadin, at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. There, my main responsibility was to produce TEM images of ultra-thin (less than 10 nm diameter) superconducting nanowire samples, and later to develop a method to introduce nanometer-resolution modifications to those wires and measure the effect on their superconducting properties.
