DOB: May 28, 1976
POB: Tucson, Arizona

Education: 
- Ph.D., Physics, University of Texas at Austin, 2004
- B.A. m.c.l,  Mathematics & Physics, St. John's University (MN), 1998

Professional Employment:
- Assistant Professor, College of William and Mary, Autumn 2007
- Postdoctoral Fellow, University College London, 2004-present
- Graduate Research Assistant, University of Texas, 2000-2004

Research Activities:

- The NuMI/MINOS Experiment, (2000 - present)
  * Co-coordinator of the Near Detector Physics working group: 
    Responsible for neutrino cross-section measurements in 
    the MINOS Near Detector.
  * Muon-neutrino disappearance measurement: Responsible for evaluating 
    systematic uncertainties associated with hadronization, final state 
    interactions and hadronic shower development
    (in collaboration w/ H. Gallagher, S. Dytman, T. Yang)
  * UK Computing Coordinator: Responsible for representing the 
    experiment before the UK's grid computing board and 
    overseeing MC production.
  * Construction and operation of the MINOS calibration detector. Test beam 
    data were collected in the CERN PS to measure the response of the MINOS
    detectors to hadrons, electrons and muons (work done as a student).
  * Design and construction of an automated test system to comprehensively
    characterize the 1600 multi-anode photomultipliers used at the MINOS 
    Far Detector (work done as a student).

Service Activities:
- Co-organizer of "The Fifth International Workshop on Neutrino-Nucleus Interactions in the Few-GeV Region (NuINT 07) May 30, 2007 - June 3, 2007 at Fermilab"
