Contemporary Research:

I am currently working on an implementation of the CMS Fast Simulation program for the SLHC at CERN.  My immediate work focuses on V0 reconstruction (cf. Brian Drell's work) and B-tagging algorithms using an enhanced and adaptable version of the Tracker Geometry.   My advisors are Prof. John Cumalat and Prof. Kevin Stenson.  

Prior Research:

As an undergraduate, I worked on data analysis from the FOCUS (e831) experiment at FermiLab.  My efforts were in reconstructing D** decays using genetic programming.  

Bio:

I grew up in Johnson City, Tennessee before attending Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee from 2002-2006.  I'm currently in my second year here in Boulder.
