  My primary PhD research was with the large liquid xenon dark matter detectors, LUX and LZ. With the LZ Collaboration, I built and instrumented an R&D test bed which was a "mini" version of these large detectors. I also carried out analysis on data acquired from the test bed, with the goal of investigating some phenomena that threaten the sensitivity of liquid xenon dark matter detectors. With the LUX Collaboration, I carried out a search for a type of dark matter called a 'lightly ionizing particle'. For this research I developed an analysis technique based on a track reconstruction algorithm, which is the first of its kind in liquid xenon detectors. Show less

  I was a researcher with the SNO+ Collaboration for about two years. During this time I developed a Monte Carlo simulation (in C++) and lead the first electronic calibrations of the detector's ~10,000 photomultiplier tubes (PMTs).

  During my time at Max Planck, I carried out extensive analysis using the Soft X-Ray tomography system on the ASDEX-Upgrade tokamak. I improved the accuracy and precision of measurements of the plasma center (an important diagnostic tool), and also developed measurements of the time evolution of the plasma center.
