A really small Bio

I am a physicist with a strong research interest in the computational aspects of the field. I hold a joint position at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (TJNAF, but known affectionately as J-Lab) and Christopher Newport University where I am an Associate Professor in the department of Physics, Computer Science and Engineering.

Professional Interests

I am a member of the CLAS Collaboration. The CLAS collaboration is responsible for the design and construction of the software and equipment used in Hall B at TJNAF. My primary physics interests are in the structure of the nucleon and the modification of the properties of vector mesons inside the nucleus.

I am a member of the CLAS software group and have worked on the following projects:

ced, the cLAS eVENT dISPLAY
Compression (demultiplexing) of drift chamber data
Noise reduction in drift chamber data
Data acquisition
Scientific plotting
Beam optics for a polarized source
Realtime accelerator displays via cdev

Currently I am involved with the CLAS12 upgrade as a member of the CLAS12 Software Group. I am helping to develop a web-services approach for the CLAS-12 software. In addition, I am working on the CLAS12 single event display, which will be a service consumer and provider, and will be based on the bCNU (be seein' you) graphics package.
