LHC Physics Center

What I will be working on:

During the next year I will focus on searches for new physics with top quarks and development of trigger algorithms for Run II. I will also help organize and recruit effort at the LPC for Run II trigger commissioning.

My role in CMS past and present:

I am currently serving as the co-convener of the B2G Resonances subgroup. I have also made primary contributions to multiple searches for new heavy gauge bosons (W') and top partners. I am also a member of the CMS Publications Committee (EXO/B2G) and serve as the USCMS Physics Liaison. Previously, I have served as the CMS Deputy Trigger Coordinator (2011-2013), co-convener of the Trigger Menu Integration group (2008-2011) and the HCAL-Trigger liaison.
