Research:

My research is in the area of experimental particle physics.

I have been working on detector electronics for the endcap muon system of the CMS detector, an experiment to study 14 TeV proton-proton collisions at the LHC storage ring to be built at the CERN laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland. In particular, UF has built trigger electronics to find tracks in the muon detection system of CMS.

Here is a (dated) overview of the UF activities on the CMS experiment.

• Trigger Project Management

However, the Tevatron at Fermilab is currently providing 2 TeV proton-antiproton collisions, and I am now participating in the upgrade and data analysis of the CDF experiment.

Here is an overview of the UF activities on the CDF experiment.
• Fermilab, CDF, D0
• CDF Fast Navigator

My previous research included studying 0.3 TeV electron-proton collisions with the ZEUS experiment at the HERA ep storage ring. The site is the DESY laboratory in Hamburg, Germany.
