Welcome to my personal home page. Here you will find information on my career, projects, publications and related connections.

I am a research scientist and have worked in beam physics, radiation production and accelerator technology for the past 15 years.  I have a strong interest in the generation of radiation, lasers and optics, and energy generation. I have explored the use of high peak and average power particle beams in these and other areas.

My recent work includes a number of dielectric wakefield and laser driven advanced accelerator schemes. These dielectric accelerators have a strong possibility of providing the next generation of machines for a wide range of applications. I am currently working on novel accelerators for radiation production in medical imaging and cancer treatment as well as for industrial uses.

Additionally, I have experience in managing small businesses. I am currently a co-founder and active member of RadiaBeam Technologies, LLC — a manufacturer of components and sub-systems for physical sciences laboratories worldwide.

Prior to my current position at UCLA as a Researcher, working with the Particle Beam Physics Laboratory, I was a founding principal in three wireless technology ventures. I co-founded and led a start up in the Midwest called Wearable Worlds whose business model was based on an interactive multi-player game using wireless devices and real-world settings. This effort lead to a new startup based in Los Angeles: as founder and CEO of Myaxys, a company that was an early player in Bluetooth technology, bringing the internet shopping experience inside the traditional retail space through handheld wireless devices. Later, I joined as COO an existing start up, FireBrook Inc., which was an pioneer in wireless Hotel Internet market.
