I am a currently a research associate at the University of Chicago working on
the CDF experiment at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory
in Batavia, Illinois where we collide protons and anti-protons in order
to better understand the fundamental forces of nature. See my current research for more information.
I obtained my PhD in high energy experimental particle
physics from the University of
California at Santa Barbara in the
summer of 2003. As a graduate student, I worked with Professor
Claudio Campagnari on the BaBar
experiment at the Stanford
Linear Accelerator Center in Palo Alto California. I wrote
my thesis on CP violation in the
neutral B meson system. We measured sin2beta (where beta is an
angle of the unitary triangle) by measuring the difference in decay
time of B0 and B0bar mesons that decay to CP-eigenstates consisting
of a ccbar and K0s meson.
I graduated with a BS in physics and math from the University of Richmond in Virginia
in 1997 where I was a varsity
scholarship tennis player for 4 years. We won the NCAA Division
I Colonial Athletic Association title my
sophomore year (1995). I also worked with Professor Gerard Gilfoyle on a
drift chamber prototype for the CLAS
collaboration at Jefferson Lab
in
Newport News, Virginia.
I grew up in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.
