            BS: Illinois Institute of Technology, 1982
            PhD: Indiana University, 1989

Research Interest:

I am a member of the DZero Collaboration at Fermilab and am interested in the search for New Phenomena.  I  have searched for the supersymmetric partner of the top quark, first generation leptoquarks, and am presently involved in a general search for SUSY signatures in the single lepton+missing energy+jets channel.

The DZero experiment is a proton--anti-proton collider experiment which is currently being upgraded. The FSU Experimental High Energy Physics group is responsible for various parts of the upgrade: the  silicon tracker trigger, graphics, muon reconstruction software, as well as other tasks.  We will collect data again starting in early 2001.

During the first run of the experiment, physicists from FSU were involved in the search for new phenomena, the search for the top quark, and the study of quantum chromodynamics.
