What I do: I am an experimental elementary particle physicist. One of the main thrusts of my research has been understanding the source of the asymmetry between matter and antimatter in the universe. Ultimately, my goals are to between understand nature at its most fundamental level. This is being done with the NOvA long-baseline experiment at Fermilab, which is currently taking data, and Mu2e, an experiment searching for beyond-the-standard-model physics through the search for a rare decay of the muon.
What you will do: There are a variety of tasks including: the fabrication of the large modules for the Mu2e Cosmic Ray veto; tests of the photodetectors; mechanical design of the detector and assorted test jigs; and general lab activities.
