Organizer of LHC Physics Center “January Term” School, 2006.
Member, US CMS Advisory Software and Computing Board, 2006-2007.
US CMS Hadron Calorimeter Institution Board Chair, 2008-.1
Research Areas: Hadron collider physics at the high energy frontier, trigger and data acquisition electronics.
Current Research
My research focuses on the physics of the Large Hadron Collider and the tools and techniques required to make the most of the data produced at the collider. My group is involved in the hardware for the Hadron Calorimeter, including the Luminosity system and trigger upgrade projects. The major physics focus of the group is on Higgs production, particularly weak-boson-fusion production of the Higgs boson and the eventual measurement of the coupling strengths between the Higgs and the bosons including the photon, and also the Higgs-fermion couplings.
