Interests: My primary research focus is in the area of relativistic heavy-ion nuclear physics. I have been a member of the BRAHMS Collaboration at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) facility since the experiment was initially approved. Within the BRAHMS Collaboration, I have been responsible for the design and construction of the experiment's Multiplicity Array and for the threshold Cherenkov detector that is part of the large-angle spectrometer. The physics topics that I have concentrated on since joining BRAHMS include studying the overall charged-particle production in RHIC collisions and studying hydrodynamic flow effects that are believed to reflect the properties of the quark-gluon plasma created in the heavy-ion collisions. This work is described in greater detail on the home page for the nuclear physics group. |
