Research I study Relativistic Heavy Ion
Physics. This research is primarily done in conjunction with
thePHENIXexperiment, which studies Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), a theory
of
the nature of the fundamental force known as the strong force which
binds nuclei and other elementary particles, under the most extreme
conditions of high temperature and density ever achieved in a
laboratory. Relativistic Heavy Ion Physics is a
combination of particle and
nuclear physics in which heavy
nuclei are collided at large particle accelerators likeRHICand theLHCat
energies comparable to the highest that are achievable even for
elementary particle collisions.
Personal I have two daughters Ava and
Anna, and my wife is named Jen. See myprofile

I am from Western PA and
