I'm a second-year graduate student in the Physics PhD program, and a Preceptor in the Department, focusing in experimental nuclear (heavy ion) physics. I am (nominally) class of 2013 in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. During summer 2009, I worked with Columbia Professors Bill Zajc and Brian Cole on PHENIX at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. I'm MIT class of 2008 with degrees in Physics and Mathematics. My undergraduate advisor was Peter Shor, and my thesis advisor was Joe Formaggio. Here is my undergraduate thesis and my resume. I collaborated on this.

       I prefer the first one for personal/teaching purposes, and the second one 
       for research. I'm usually logged in to gmail enough to chat.

       (You can call me by my initials, it's something I'm used to from MIT.)
