• ASF/Belle Research Fellow

  • 2012 - May 2013

  I was on sabbatical from June 2012 through the end of May 2013 at PNNL, working with colleagues David Asner, Gocha Tatishvili and Jim Fast on Belle/Belle II, a pair of experiments that run at KEK in Japan. The research work involves the continuation of work we've done together on heavy quark physics, and on the development of a new particle-identification detector for the Belle II experiment upgrade.
