SMU Summer STEM Research Program is an intensive summer research program for students in STEM fields. 2019 Programs are planned for the University of Glasgow, Scotland, and the University of Dublin, Ireland. The program provides intensive research experience, and this is highly desirable for scholarship applications and graduate school applications.
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.
Bringing the excitement of High Energy Physics to high school science students.
"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."
