My area of research is in experimental high energy physics and I have been involved in collider physics my entire career. I received my Ph.D as a member of the D0 collaboration located at Fermilab where I worked primarily on QCD. As a postdoc at LBL I worked on the BaBar collaboration located at SLAC where my primary responsibility was helping to build the silicon vertex detector. Most recently I have been involved in the ATLAS experiment located at CERN where I have involved in various analyses including searching for SUSY and vector like leptons. I have studied photon cross sections, WWW production, WWgamma production, J/psi +W production and single top in association with a Z boson. In addition to the physics analyses, I am involved in helping test the new ATLAS pixel detector which is currently being built.
