Research interests
Primary research interests are particle detectors
in general and relativistic heavy ion physics with the
PHENIX
Experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider
(RHIC) at
Brookhaven,
specifically its Time Expansion / Transition Radiation
Chambers (TEC/TRD) and
the experimental magnets.
