 I am a Professor of Physics at 
  Columbia University. 
 Some of my work involves teaching in the 
  Physics Department.
 My research is conducted from  
          Nevis Laboratories.
 Current and recent teaching activities 
 
During the Spring 2020 semester, I am teaching both Physics 3003 (Mechanics) and
Physics W3083 (Electronics Laboratory). Detailed information about the courses
can be obtained on   CourseWorks.
 
 Research activities 
 
  
My primary research interests lie in experimental high energy physics.  My
current efforts is on the 
 ATLAS 
experiment  at the Large Hadron Collider 
 (LHC) at 
 CERN  
in Geneva, Switzerland. Until recently, I also worked on 
the  DZero 
experiment at the Tevatron proton-proton collider at
Fermilab near Chicago.  
Information about ATLAS for the general public can be found on the
ATLAS public pages. 
More information about our group's efforts on ATLAS can be found on our 
ATLAS group homepage. 
You can also find information about the 
Front End Board we developed
for the ATLAS liquid argon calorimeter.
 
(You can learn a bit more about my research activities from my
 homepage
on  the physics department server.)
 Undergraduate research opportunities 
 
I am the Principal Investigator of the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU)
program that we operate at Nevis Labs.  If you are an undergraduate interested in applying to
participate, check out the information on our 
REU WWW page.
