Research

Design and analysis of experiments to investigate high energy particles of astrophysical origin (e.g. cosmic rays and neutrinos). I am currently working with the following experimental collaborations, with primary emphasis on the SPASE-AMANDA experiment.

• SPASE - South Pole Air Shower Experiment
• AMANDA - Antarctic Muon and Neutrino Detector Array
• RICE - Radio Ice Cerenkov Experiment
• SMILI - Superconducting Magnet Instrument for Light Isotopes
• AMANDA activities at Bartol - points of contact

Teaching

Doing whatever I can to make learning Physics and Astronomy an enjoyable and worthwhile endeavor for all students.

• Physics P201, Winter Session 2001
