Welcome to my website!

I am an Associate Professor of Physics at the University of Arizona.

My research is in theoretical particle physics. I perform calculations of processes involving hadrons, the bound states of quarks and gluons, using lattice quantum chromodynamics. By comparing the predictions with measurements at particle colliders, the fundamental laws of the universe can be tested. You can find out more on my Research page.

I have taught undergraduate and graduate courses in electrodynamics, quantum mechanics, and quantum field theory. The full list is available under Teaching.

I am a member of the Flavour Lattice Averaging Group and the US Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics Collaboration. I served as a convener of the topical group Weak decays of b and c quarks in the Snowmass 2021 Community Study on the Future of Particle Physics.
