Hi, I'm David.
I make stuff.
I'm also a Ph.D. Candidate in Applied/Engineering Physics at Cornell
University. My research involves optics, mechanics, and electronics
at the nanoscale, but when I'm not doing that you can find me
coding Android or HTML5 or building some crazy invention in the
machine shop.

Research
I'm currently working at Intel as an intern and working on my Ph.D. thesis on the side. For my Ph.D. I am developing a novel optomechanical micro-scale accelerometer.
