My research is in elementary particle physics phenomenology, at the interface between theory and experiment. Specifically, I study Quantum Chromodynamics (the fundamental force that binds nuclei) to help answer the questions: What are the fundamental building blocks of nature, and what holds them together?
My work is supported in part by a DOE
grant, and I have received continuous funding since 1992. I was
awarded an TNRLC/SSC Fellowship in 1993, and am an active member of
the CTEQ collaboration--a
novel collaboration of theorists and experimentalists.
I was
elected an APS Fellow in 2005 for
"For significant contributions to understanding nucleon
structure and heavy quark production in perturbative quantum
chromodynamics." Each year, no more than one-half of
one percent of the then current membership of the Society are
recognized by their peers for election to the status of Fellow in The
American Physical Society.

"The demonstrations were wonderfully choreographed and established visual images with many of the fundamental interactions in physics," said Shalini Nair, [WISE] club president and electrical engineering major. "These demonstrations will provide a basis for understanding that the girls can call upon throughout their years in school."
