Welcome to My Professional Website!

I am an Assistant Professor of Experimental Particle Physics at Southern Methodist University. I teach physics and conduct research into the nature of dark matter at an experiment called the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS) and its successor, SuperCDMS. I also have experience in neutrino physics on several experiments, including AMANDA/IceCube and Super-Kamiokande.
