Research Interests

The study of fluctuations and correlations in relativistic heavy ion collisions with the PHENIX detector at RHIC. Correlation analyses include the study of the evolution of azimuthal angle correlations (the volcano and HBT effects) from low to high transverse momentum. Fluctuation analyses include a comprehensive survey of fluctuations of charged particle production in various collision species in the context of a search for critical behavior in RHIC collisions.
