Bio
cody Storry
Joe was a graduate student and held a Post Doctoral Fellowship in my research group at York University and in collaboration with Harvard University at CERN. Joe has always been a pleasure to work with as well as an outstanding, hardworking and productive researcher. His work in precision atomic measurements and in antimatter production and storage as an experimental atomic physicist has given him a vast and diverse array of skills. He has tackled and succeeded on any task put in his way be it analytical or computational, new experimental techniques or hardware of any kind, be it working solo or in the international ATRAP collaboration. I would hire Joe again in a wink if he would take the job.
Monica Bennett
Joe was my supervisor for my first physics research experience during the summer of 2009. Since I had no prior experience with practical research skills, Joe patiently worked with me to make sure I developed the necessary skills and knowledge. He helped me understand my specific area of focus and its place in the context of the project as a whole, and provided me with opportunities for a variety of programming and hands-on work, which gave me experience in multiple aspects of everyday research. I appreciated Joe's consistent availability to answer questions and give suggestions, combined with encouragement of my independent work. His guidance helped make my first research experience educational and key for developing my confidence as a scientist.
