Research Activities
D0:
-Rare charm decays, B lifetimes, flavor tagging, diffractive production of heavy flavor.
-Luminosity ID group convener: 8/2003-present
-Luminosity detector operations leader: 8/2002-present

Belle:
-Branching fractions and CP violation in B to K pi, pi pi, and K K decays, 
flavor tagging, hadronic event selection and non-hadronic backgrounds, N(BBbar) 
determination for branching fraction normalization.
-Participated in construction and commissioning of the Time-of-Flight system and 
responsible for the fabrication and commissioning of the Time-of-Flight and level 0 
trigger electronics.
-Participated in the BEAST experiment designed to give feedback to the KEKB accelerator 
commissioning team.

I have also enjoyed research in fluid dynamics, material science, and surface 
characteristics during time spent working on the ICF program, on my masters 
research at SLAC, and performing undergraduate research at MWC.
