Biography

I am a postdoctoral research associate in theoretical particle physics at CU. Originally from the Detroit area, I graduated summa cum laude from Amherst College in 2006 with majors in physics, history, and mathematics, and completed my PhD at Boston University in 2011. At BU I was a member of both the high energy theory group and the Center for Computational Science. I have also worked as a visitor (for more than a month) at National Taiwan Normal University/National Center for Theoretical Sciences, Taipei (2011); Lawrence Livermore National Lab (2010); CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (2005), and Hope College (2003).

I work on lattice gauge theory and dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking (more information). I am active in both the Lattice Strong Dynamics Collaboration and the US BSM Collaboration of USQCD. In addition to the institutions mentioned above, I have been supported by the National Science Foundation, the Department of Energy, and the National Science Council of Taiwan.

Research

My research focuses on theories of particle physics that involve strong interactions, such as quantum chromodynamics and models of electroweak symmetry breaking through new strong dynamics. I am particularly interested in applying lattice gauge theory to obtain non-perturbative predictions from these theories. An essential component of this work is developing efficient numerical algorithms and optimizing them for the state-of-the-art hardware used in high-performance computing.

A more complete description of my research has outgrown this page.
