2004 UCLA High Energy Physics Group
Research with Dr. David Saltzberg’s group at CDF on a RunII B meson cross
section analysis for use in the measurement of Br[Bs->μμ]. This
measurement will yield tighter limits on mSUGRA parameter space, and when
used in conjunction with other experimental results, such as the muon
magnetic moment anamoly at
BNL
and cosmological data, will yield stringent limits on the possibility of
Neutralino Dark Matter.
2003 UCLA High Energy Physics Group
Research with
Dr. David Saltzberg’s group with CDF on like-sign dilepton signature
searches for exotic physics, including setting further limits on mSUGRA
parameter space.
1999 - 2002 Caltech High Energy Physics
Group
Research with Dr. Harvey Newman’s group on
development of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the LHC. Areas
of work include the muon trigger system and photon reconstruction directed
at detection of the diphoton Higgs decay mode.
1998 John Allman Laboratory of
Neuroscience
Research with
Dr. John Allman at Caltech into natural image statistics with regards to
distance modulation of neural activity in the visual cortex. |
