• Education: B.S. and Ph.D. in Physics from Caltech and UC Berkeley
• Professional Roles: Research Fellow, Academic Faculty Positions

Research focuses on particle physics experiments, particularly Mu2e (Muon-to-Electron Conversion) and BABAR (B-factory experiments). Key areas include B-meson physics, dark matter searches, axion-like particles, and detector design. His work bridges theoretical predictions with experimental validation in high-energy physics.

Publications span 2023–1991, emphasizing precision measurements, rare decay searches, and detector development. Notable contributions include Mu2e calorimeter design and studies of CP violation in B mesons.

Grants and collaborations include leadership in international experiments like Mu2e and BABAR. No detailed student or award information provided in text.
