Research Interests
I started out with my doctorate in atomic physics, but switched my focus to high-energy experimental research and the study of measuring parameters of the weak interaction with particular emphasis on the parameters describing quark flavor mixing. My recent research has moved more into the area of particle astrophysics with my efforts focused on the construction and operation of the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope.
