Research Interests:

My research interest is in experimental particle physics (also known as high energy physics). I am a member of the D0 and CMS collaborations. With D0 I am searching for electroweak production of the top quark. With CMS I am helping to build the central silicon microstrip tracker. Go to: http://heplx3.phsx.ku.edu/~hep/index.html for the home page of the experimental high energy physics group at the University of Kansas.
