His work centers on advancing low-background detectors for rare physics phenomena, particularly through the nEXO and XENON collaborations. Key areas include barium tagging, VUV-sensitive photodetectors, and background suppression in noble liquid experiments.
Recent publications highlight improvements in liquid xenon detector materials (ultra-pure nickel), photodetector performance, and simulation frameworks (NEST models). His research emphasizes scalability and sensitivity for dark matter and neutrino physics.
