Education:

  * BSc., Physics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1988.
  * PhD, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995.

Positions Held:

  * Assistant Professor,
    Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, 2000-present.
  * Postdoctoral Researcher, Rutgers, 1995 - 2000


Research Activities and Service work:

I have had the good fortune to work on many different types of
experiments:   an electron-positron linear collider, a fixed-target
neutral kaon beam,and a hadron collider.

*  My PhD thesis (SLD) was on the left-right cross section asymmetry of
   the Z.  This required precise knowledge of  electron-beam polarization.

*  As a postdoc on KTeV I performed analyses involving rare kaon decays,
   kaon regeneration, Primakoff excitation, and hypothetical light-gluino
   production.

*  On joining CDF I  worked on silicon detector quality control.
   Recently I have concentrated on searches for new phenomena,
   specifically Higgs decaying to tau pairs.  I am a co-convener
   of the  Very Exotic Physics (VEP) group on CDF,
   which oversees all non-SUSY non-Higgs physics (Z',
   extra dimensions, leptoquarks, excited fermions, CHAMPS,
   monopoles, etc.)
