Research
Direct detection of dark matter, high energy neutrino physics, solar neutrino physics, low background detection of radioactivity.
I work with bubble chambers which have excellent sensitivity to dark matter particles that are interacting via their spin. I am an expert at developing and operating new particle detectors and I am excited about the prospects of finding out what makes the sources of the highest energy neutrinos from cosmic sources work.
High energy neutrinos are wonderful messengers from very distant sources that allow deep insights both into the particle nature of the neutrinos themselves and into the inner workings of distant massive objects. I am building detectors to study these fascinating phenomena.
