Interests:
My teaching interests include modern physics (quantum mechanics, special relativity, particle physics), and mathematical and computational physics. I enjoy teaching at both the undergraduate and graduate level. I am especially concerned with issues relating to the continuity and completeness of the undergraduate curriculum.

My research in experimental subatomic physics focuses on spin and isospin phenomena in light nuclei (e.g. hydrogen and helium), primarily at the intersection of high-energy particle physics and conventional nuclear physics. The broad goal of my experimental program is to characterize the strong interaction in a well-understood nuclear medium. I am currently a member of several international collaborations conducting experiments at TRIUMF (Vancouver, British Columbia), BNL (Ridge, New York), and LANL (Los Alamos, New Mexico). My work involves experimental design, particle detection, data acquisition, data analysis, and theoretical modeling.
