Belle II at SuperKEKB

The Belle II Experiment is located at the SuperKEKB particle collider in Japan. At Belle II, high energy beams of matter and antimatter collide the world's highest collision intensity to search for ultra-rare processes including dark matter production and other new physics. My team is leading areas of Belle II detector operations, dark matter searches, and precision measurements at Belle II.

Open thesis topics:

Search for dark matter production in rare decays
High precision antineutron physics
Novel algorithms for photon and hadron reconstruction at Belle II

MOLLER at Jefferson Lab

The MOLLER Experiment will collide high energy polarized electrons with a hydrogen target to perform an ultra-high precision measurement of the Weak Mixing Angle. According to the Standard Model, the Weak Mixing Angle is a fundamental parameter of Nature and its value can be impacted by dark matter. My team is contributing to the detector's commissioning in preparation for first operations.

Open thesis topics:

High precision electron beam polarimetry at Jefferson Lab

TUCAN at TRIUMF

Located at the TRIUMF Laboratory in Vancouver, TUCAN will search for new matter/antimatter asymmetries using the world's highest density of ultra cold neutrons. My team is leading the development and operations of cutting-edge technologies for high performance neutron detection at TUCAN.

Open thesis topics:

Novel technologies for ultra cold neutron detection at TRIUMF
