Current Areas of Research:I am a graduate student in the Columbia University Applied Physics Department. However, my research -in High Energy Physics- focuses on the exploration of more basic issues concerning the fundamental nature of matter and energy.I am presently doing experimental work with the DØ Collaboration. Our experiment is located at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in Illinois, USA. There, at the Tevatron -the world's highest energy accelerator- bunches of protons and anti-protons collide to create a vast array of secondary particles. The DØ detector stores information from these collisions and by analyzing this stored data, physicists advance knowledge of particles and forces in nature. Click here to see live collisions from DØ. The DØ detector underwent a major upgrade before the new Run started on March 1, 2001. I was involved in this process and am presently working on the Silicon Track Trigger (STT). I just finished working on a study which analyzed the effects of track truncation on the STT trigger efficiency. I've also written review papers on B_s mixing and Higgs boson searches. During my undergraduate degree at Cambridge University, I worked on another Particle Physics project -Measurement of the mass of the W boson - this time using data obtained by the OPAL Collaboration at CERN, Geneva. Other Areas of Research: Prior to this, I worked on the Columbia Linear Machine at the Plasma
Physics Laboratory. I studied isotope scaling
of anomalous transport and our results have been published in the Physics
of Plasmas.
