I am currently working as a postdoc in Department of Physics, KTH Institute in Kista, Sweden.

The main focus now is fabricating membranes on the silicon chips by using cleanroom techniques and electrochemical etching. The next task is investigating DNA translocation through the nanopores using electric (fast amplifier) and optics (fast CMOS camera) measurements.

My good skills are:

- Spectroscopies: using different spectrometers for linear absorption (from very low to high), photoluminescence emission (from low to high), photoluminescence dynamics (from ps to microsecond), spectrometter calibration, finding the artifates and solutions to avoid them in optical measurements, investigating carrier multiplication in low-lost materials.

- Cleanroom: membrane fabrication on silicon chips using chemical and optical methods, also using optical and electron scanning microscope.

- Electrochemical etching: using HF acid to produce the nanopores with high aspect ratio, with diameter below 15 nm.

- Computer software: Matlab (data analysis and simulation), Origin, Latex, Microsoft office, Inkscape (2D drawing), Solid Edge (3D drawing), control electric circuits by using Arduino and Matlab.
