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.
