Research
I am an experimental high energy physicist. I am a member of the CMS collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. For non-experts, a good starting point to learn about the LHC and its physics program is the LHC Wikipedia page.
My group in CMS uses the dilepton final state to study "old" physics, e.g., top and WW cross-section measurements, as well as to search for "new" physics, e.g., SuperSymmetry. I was the co-convenor of the Top Physics Analysis Group in 2008 and 2009.
On the more technical side, we are working on muon identification and reconstruction, missing transverse energy studies, photon coversion identification, physics dataset definition, and the development of event visualization tools. A large fraction of the modules for the CMS tracker were assembled in our lab on the UCSB campus between 2003 and 2006. We naturally remain involved in the commissioning and operation of the tracker.
For more information on the activities of the UCSB CMS group, see our group web page. You are welcome to contact me if you would like further information.
Teaching
At UCSB I have taught physics at all levels: from lower division physics for life science majors to particle physics for 2nd year graduate students. This quarter (Spring 2012) I am not teaching.
Opportunities for Students
There are openings in my group for students interested in pursuing a PhD in experimental high energy physics at CMS.There are also opportunities for motivated undergraduates to do research with us, hopefully leading to a senior thesis.
Interested students should get in touch with me directly. Contact information is available at the top of the page.
