About

I am a retired experimental particle physicist. As a Professor, I particularly enjoyed teaching advanced undergraduate labs for physics and engineering physics students. On Physics SE, I am most interested in nuclear and particle physics, experimental methods and analysis, applied physics, interdisciplinary physics, and "physics in the wild" outside academia and research.
