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

Spring 2008 semester: Physics C1402 (Introduction to Electricity and Magnetism)

Spring 2008 semester: Physics W3083 (Electronics Laboratory)

Fall 2007 semester: Physics C1401 (Introduction to Mechanics and Thermodynamics)

Spring 2007 semester: Physics W3083 (Electronics Laboratory)

Fall 2006 semester: Physics G6050 (Elementary Particle Physics)

Research activities

My primary research interests lie in experimental high energy physics. My current efforts are directed towards two projects: the DZero experiment at the Tevatron proton-proton collider at Fermilab near Chicago, and the ATLAS experiment, which is being designed for operation at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to be constructed at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland.

Want some more information about what is interesting at ATLAS? Take a look at a recent talk I gave on Physics Prospects with ATLAS , or a talk more specifically on Top Quark Physics Prospects. You can also find information about the Front End Board we are developing for the ATLAS liquid argon calorimeter. (You can learn a bit more about my research activities from my homepage on the physics department server.)
