As an assistant professor at UC Davis, my research focuses on searching for signs of theories that could explain dark matter and other mysteries in our understanding of the universe. I do this in two ways: exploiting the huge general purpose CMS detector at the LHC in non-standard ways and building small scale dedicated detectors at a range of facilities. My research is mainly funded by the DOE.
