Background: I received my PhD in physics from the University of California, Santa Cruz in June 2009, and my Bachelor's Degree in computational physics from the University of California, San Diego in 2002. My field of study is in theoretical particle physics, especially electroweak symmetry breaking and the Higgs particle. I am also interested in Physics Education research.

If you are interested in doing an independent research project, talk to me!
In the past I've supervised undergraduate students in projects doing original
research in particle physics, computational physics and sonification (using
sound and music to represent physics data). You can see some need
animations done by my previous students
here. If these or other
physics-related topics interest you, come see me.
If you need a good introduction to LaTeX, I recommend this one: Getting Started With LaTeX
