My research in experimental particle physics has been primarily in two major areas. Recently I was involved in the BaBar experiment at the Stanford Linear Accelerating Center located near the Stanford campus. I was involved in building and commissioning the silicon vertex tracker for BaBar. My primary physics interest is working on B physics in order to better understand CP violation. I have also worked on many analyses studying QCD at the D0 experiment at Fermi Lab. These analyses were designed to look for quark sub-structure and to test the current theoretical understanding of QCD. The new, recently upgraded D0 detector will allow us the opportunity to exploit the highest energy accelerator in the world. The next few years will be very exciting as D0 will provide one of the best opportunities available to discover new physics.
