Dear Mme/Sir:

I am finishing my postdoc in Washington University this summer.
I am looking for a challenging research position in the field
of physics or applied mathematics. I have strong interest in modeling,
a general background in all engineering fields and a strong
background in physics and mathematics.

Following is my curriculum vitae. Other information and references are
available upon request.

EDUCATION: 
----------

1987-91 : PhD in theoretical condensed matter physics 
	  University of Delaware, Newark, DE.
          GPA: 4.0
1986-87 : DEA (equivalent to a Masters degree) in solid state physics
	  University of Paris VII , Paris, France.
1983-86 : General-Engineering degree
	  Ecole Centrale de Paris, Paris, France.
1984-86 : B.S. degree in physics
	  University of Paris VII, Paris, France.

RESEARCH EXPERIENCE:
--------------------

1991-92 : Postdoctoral fellow, Washington University, St Louis, MO.
	  Calculation of the attenuation of surface acoustic waves
	  in metals and superconductors.
1987-91 : Researh Fellow, University of Delaware, Newark, DE
	  Proposed a theory of quantum melting in two-dimensional
	  systems. Calculated the phonon spectrum of the 2d Wigner
	  crystal including the anharmonic corrections. Studied the
	  transport of defects in this system in the presence of 
	  disorder and magnetic field. Investigated the screening of
	  remote impurities in quantum wells and semiconductor interfaces.

Experimental techniques:
          Have experience with low temperatures and vacuum techniques,
	  as well as measurements of the non-linear conductivity. Also 
	  familiar with lasers and optical experiments. Have measured
	  the luminescence spectra of semiconductor alloys to investigate
	  localization of excitons.(1985 and 1986)

Computer skills:
	  Have experience with numerical methods, Fortran and C programming,
	  symbolic languages such as Macsyma and Mathematica, as well 
	  as the Monte Carlo method. Have worked with different operating 
	  systems such as Unix, VM/XA, VMS and DOS.(1987-92)


TEACHING EXPERIENCE:
--------------------

	  Laboratory and Problem session Teaching Assistant in
	  engineering courses such as Mechanics and Electricity.
	  Have tutored since entering college several undergraduate
	  and later graduate science courses.
