Experimental Particle Physics

I am a member of the ATLAS experiment located at the Large Hadron Collider. Working with ATLAS colleagues at Carleton and in Canada,  I contributed to the construction of thin gap chambers (sTGC) as part of the New Small Wheel (NSW) upgrade program to prepare for the high luminosity phase of LHC operation.  My research team has been involved in jet calibration work and continued support of the sTGC operations.  We have led a search for emerging jets, a novel type of dark matter model, and have contributed to the search of Higgs decays to muons.

I am also a member of the HyperKamiokande (HK) long-baseline neutrino experiment.  HK aims to advance our knowledge of neutrinos with precise measurements of accelerator and atmospheric neutrinos.  In particular, HK will carry out a precise determination of the charge-parity (CP) violating phase in the neutrino sector.  A non-zero CP phase gives rise to a matter-antimatter asymmetry in neutrino interactions.  In addition, HK will carry out a sensitive search for proton decay and measure a variety of terrestrial and astronomical neutrino sources including geoneutrinos, solar neutrinos, supernova neutrinos.
