I'm a graduate student in the Physics Department at UC Berkeley

Current Work:
- ATLAS: High energy particle physics detector under construction in Geneva, Switzerland.
- I work with the LBNL Atlas group on data streaming simulations.
Past Work:
- Summer 2005-Spring 2006: I worked with Marco Battaglia on ILC pixel development.
- Fall 2004-Spring 2005: I was a Fulbright Fellow at Le Laboratoire De L'Accelerateur Lineaire, in Orsay France. I worked on the ATLAS Liquid Argon Calorimeter Calibration system and did a sensitivity study of a focus point region SUSY scenario.
- December 2001-June 2004: Member of the CDF experiment at FermiLab, IL, working with Young-Kee Kim and the LBNL CDF group. My projects included background estimation for MSSM h->b b bbar bbar, electron trigger efficiencies, calorimeter degredation studies and online monitoring of the silicon tracking system.
