My research in neutrino physics, especially neutrino astrophysics, focuses on how existing and upcoming detectors can reveal neutrino properties and answer interesting questions about the universe. This work involves quite a bit of computational modeling, and there are many opportunities for students to contribute. I have also worked with students on observations of double star systems.

Student Projects
One of the highlights of teaching at a liberal arts college is the opportunity to work on projects with students. If you are a student interested in an independent study or research project, please send me an email or stop by my office!
