Education:  Bachelor of Science in Applied Physics from Jordan University of Science and Technology in Irbid, Jordan; currently pursuing a Masters of Science in Physics

Research Interests:  Properties of carbon nanotube–metal contact structures. My research involves conducting a first principles atomistic calculation and analysis of electron transport and mechanical properties of selected carbon nanotube structures placed between metallic contacts.  Electrical conductance will be obtained from computed current-voltage curves for single wall metallic carbon nanotubes placed between copper contacts. A software package on the College of Sciences and Humanities computer cluster, Atomistix's Virtual NanoLab and ToolKit, codes these methods and will be the primary computational resource for this project.  Python scripts including NanoLanguage will be written for generating the desired output data with this software. Research Advisor: Dr. Ron Cosby

Personal Interests: Soccer, watching football, traveling, helping people, solving physics problems—"I LOVE PHYSICS"
