overview

My research is in accelerator-based experimental particle physics. I have worked on the study of both proton-antiproton collisions and electron-positron collisions. My interests have spanned precision tests of the electroweak model; flavor physics studies, particularly the physics of hadrons containing b quarks; and searches for the Higgs boson and particles not contained in the standard model of particle physics.

I have been a member of the following experimental collaborations:

  • ATLAS (CERN Large Hadron Collider) 2007 to present
  • CDF (Fermilab Tevatron) 1993 to present
  • OPAL (CERN LEP Collider) 1989-1993
  • UA1 (CERN SPS Collider) 1984-1989
  • R608 (CERN Intersecting Storage Rings) 1982-1983
honors
  • Fellow of the American Physical Society 2009
  • Outstanding Junior Investigator, Department of Energy, 1998-2001
  • Wilson Fellow, Fermilab, 1993-1997
  • Department Citation, Physics, University of California, Berkeley, 1982
  • Phi Beta Kappa, University of California, Berkeley, 1982
positions
  • Professor, University of Pennsylvania, 2006 to present
  • Associate Professor (with tenure), Univ. of Pennsylvania, 2001-2006
