Research Interests
 Scanning SQUID microscopy: For the past dozen years I have developed the technique of scanning SQUID microscopy and used the resulting novel instruments for fundamental studies. These studies included:
 

Phase sensitive pairing symmetry tests	Interlayer tunneling model	Interacting p-loop arrays
Quench cooled superconducting rings	Angle-resolved phase sensitive measurements of the in-plane gap symmetry in YBa2Cu3O7

 
 Previous Work: I have also worked in a broad range of other areas in condensed matter physics:

Scanning tunneling potentiometry	Josephson junctions	Scanning tunneling microscopy
Electron heating in SiO2	Light emitting tunnel junctions	Surface enhanced Raman scattering
Non-equilibrium superconductivity	Inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy
