I am currently teaching and doing research within the Northern Illinois University physics department.
My research activities span searches for violations of fundamental symmetries, tests of the quark model, and direct dark matter detection.
I have been very fortunate to have a broad range of teaching experience, both in the classroom and in mentoring students on research projects.
As scientists, we have a responsibility to engage the public and educate them about our work and I enjoy initiating and contributing to these efforts.
My research tends to be computationally intensive, which is fine with me, as I'm very enthusiastic about computing challenges and developing tools to overcome them.
