My research focuses on experimental studies of QCD and the electroweak interaction and on the measurement of nuclear reaction rates that play an important role in astrophysical processes. I am a member of the STAR Collaboration at Brookhaven National Laboratory and the TWIST Collaboration at TRIUMF.



During the Fall 2008 semester, I will be teaching Physics 221.
