Research

My research interests are in the field of experimental high energy physics. I am involved in searches for the Higgs boson particle at the D0 experiment at Fermilab, and the ATLAS experiment at CERN. These are leading high energy physics experiments with large collaborations consisting of more than 500 people in D0 and 2000 people in ATLAS. My area of expertise is the reconstruction of tracks of charged particles (tracking) and identification of particle jets produced by heavy flavor hadrons (b-tagging). In terms of hardware, our group is involved in the ATLAS pixel detector upgrade.
