My research focuses on studies of the fundamental properties of the nucleons, i.e. the proton and neutron, which are the two building blocks of the atomic nucleus. I work primarily on experiments that use spin degrees of freedom (i.e. using polarized targets and beams) in electron-nucleon/nucleus interactions to extract new information about the properties of these fundamental building blocks of nature. At University of Virginia, I work as part of the polarized target group… Show more My research focuses on studies of the fundamental properties of the nucleons, i.e. the proton and neutron, which are the two building blocks of the atomic nucleus.

At University of Virginia, I work as part of the polarized target group developing, building and maintaining the cryogenic polarized targets critical to research at the forefront of nuclear science carried out at labs such as, Jefferson Lab, Los Alamos National Lab, and Fermi Lab.

Post-Doctoral Associate

• Jun 2015 - Aug 2018

Worked in conjunction with polarization group at Jefferson Laboratory on research, simulation, and development of the electron detector for the next-generation particle accelerator, the Electron-Ion Collider. I led the software development for the group with projects including: beam transport and beamline background simulation, Compton and halo generators, and fitting software for the simulated asymmetry data.

Taught lab courses for undergraduates in Electronics and Practical Physics, as well a homework recitation session. The Practical Physics strove to explain the scientific basis behind many everyday item such as; engines, bicycles, and microwaves and foster an appreciation of the underlying laws of nature. In electronics I covered general principles of analog electronics, with emphasis on theory, design, and application of passive and active components. Labs included applications of a… Show more Taught lab courses for undergraduates in Electronics and Practical Physics, as well a homework recitation session.
