I am a an experimental particle physicist. For a good description of what that means try the wonderful particle adventure. Also I have a presentation on particle at the Wayne State Physics Feast on What is the Universe Made of?
I am also an astrophysicist which means that I get paid to look the sky. I mostly try to find supernovae and figure out the origin and ultimate fate of the universe. This is called cosmology.
I am member of the CLEO collaboration which used to be at Cornell. I did a great deal of research there.
In 2006 I will be working on the Sloan Digital Sky Survey on the Supernova Survey. as a guest at the Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics at the University of Chicago.
I was sacrificed without guarantee on BTeV. I worked with the pixel group on mechanical and detector options.
I was an interim organizer along with David Gerdes and Andreas Kronfeld of the top physics working group on the Physics and Detectors for Future e+e- Linear Colliders.
Here is the talk I gave at the Sitges meeting at the end of April 1999. on the ttbar threshold and machine parameters, and the write up of that work.
I gave a talk on my progress at studying the ttbar threshold region at a NLC Detector Simulation Study Meeting at Fermilab in February 1999.
There was a workshop in Keystone, CO in late September 1998. Here was the agenda for the top sessions at the Keystone workshop. It also includes links to the talks that were given.
Another thread of my research effort has been the study of the interface between the accelerator CESR, where large beams of electrons and positrons are circulating in a vacuum system and brought into collision, and the detector CLEO, where very sensitive sensors look through the thinest possible wall and are adversely affected when the beams, or even small parts of them, do not stay in the pipe.
