Biography

I am part of the theoretical particle physics group here at Boulder. My primary research interests are particle dark matter, models of new physics, and general study of strongly-coupled quantum systems. My specialty is lattice field theory, which uses large-scale computing resources to perform calculations in strongly-coupled theories such as QCD (the theory of the strong nuclear force.)

I am a member of the Lattice Strong Dynamics and Fermilab Lattice/MILC lattice field theory collaborations.

Hello, World!

Welcome to my new website! I’ve had a lot of success using the Hugo static site generator to make websites for my classes, so I decided to set up a personal academic website using the same tools.

Thanks to the Academic project for their excellent and very complete Hugo theme! Check it out if you’re interested in making a site like this for yourself.
