About Me

I'm a postdoc at the University of Minnesota where I work in the stochastic group and the calibration group of the LIGO experiment.  I also chair the hardware injection group.   My research interests include gravitational waves, neutrinos, cosmology, astrophysics, and particle physics.  I received my PhD from the University of Washington where I studied astrophysical neutrino point sources with Super-Kamiokande.  My BS is from the University of Michigan, where I worked for CDF and on the development of flat electron beams for use in the proposed NLC.
