My experimental project, CMS at LHC in Geneve, Switzerland, is moving forward in its construction. For information about CMS, you may want to check out CMS URL for public outreach, or General CMS URL (more for physicists). If you are interested in up-to-date construction status news, click on ''CMS Times'' in the latter URL.

Research:

I am interested in finding clues to the future theory of particles which will extend our current understanding. Extra dimensions may be the reality, and so may Supersymmetry. We will see what we find after the experiment starts in 2008.

Teaching:

Since the last year (2006), I have taught senior-level Quantum Mechanics course for physics majors. I hope to make it as interactive possible so that students are engaged during the class. I will continue this teaching this fall.

Previously, in the falls of 2003 and 2004, Phys 4051,so-called the "Methods Class." We learn electronics which are usefulto physics experiments - analog, digital, computer interface and computerprogramming. In the spring (4052) students carry out real experiments inpairs.

During the previous few years, I taught Phys 3071,which is for elementary education major students to satisfy sciencerequirement. This class is full of hands-on experiments and simulations, andyou take charge of making sense of various physical phenomena. A lot of classdiscussions to hear your classmates points of view, too. But carriculum is verysystematic and you will be guided to get right ideas about physics concepts.Great class to learn how to think.

Before that for several years I taught 1301/1302(introductory physics) 1301 includes kinematics, forces, Newton's Laws ofmotion, energy and momentum and 1302 teaches electricity and magnetism. If youare interested in department-related information click Physics Department
