Research Interests:

I work in the area of theoretical physics of elementary particles. My main research interest focuses on physics beyond the Standard Model. I am especially interested in theories including weak scale supersymmetry. I work on issues related to tests of this class of particle physics models at colliding beam experiments. I also work on determining the identity and properties of the cold dark matter produced in the early universe, and prospects for its direct and indirect detection. Xerxes Tata and I have recently published a text entitled ``Weak Scale Supersymmetry: From Superfields to Scattering Events''. This may be ordered from Cambridge University press from the link below. With Xerxes Tata and Frank Paige, we have developed the event generator ISAJET to simulate superparticle production and decay at pp, ppbar and e+e- colliders. I also work on developing supersymmetric models, and their consequences for non-accelerator experiments and cosmology.
