RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
Fermilab Muon g-2 Experiment
• Technical manager for installation and alignment of the vacuum chamber system (Level-3 Project Manager,
$1M total budget across materials and labor)
• Leader of a small and excellent team of ten total students, scientists, technicians and engineers
dedicated to the construction, alignment, and installation of the muon g-2 vacuum chamber system.
• Designed and executed many activities to meet or exceed the alignment tolerances relevant for the
extraction of new physics with the muon g-2 experiment
• Critical member of the magnetic field team, including hardware development as well as establishing many C+
+-based software analysis routines.
2. • Author of four internally-reviewed physics notes exploring various systematic effects related to the
extraction of the magnetic field as well as necessary mitigating actions.
MiniBooNE Neutrino Experiment
• Analysis leader for the world’s first observation of mono-energetic neutrinos produced from decay-at-rest
kaons.
• Extracted the first anti-neutrino double-differential charged-current quasi-elastic cross section. This is also
the first anti-neutrino charged-current cross section below 1 GeV.
• Executed the world’s first measurement of the neutrino component of an anti-neutrino beam with a non-
magnetized detector using three independent techniques.
• Designed and carried out the most sensitive measurement of neutrino interactions produced external to the
detector.
