Me and our SR530 In 2016

I apply atomic, molecular, & optical physics techniques to answer fundamental questions in nuclear and particle physics. My passion is creating, manipulating, and detecting spin-polarized nuclei. I’m an Associate Professor at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams which is a part of Michigan State University located in East Lansing, Michigan, USA. I have a joint appointment with the Department of Physics & Astronomy, which is where I currently teach the Advanced Lab to physics majors and Electricity and Magnets to a wide range of students from packaging majors to PhD students. My favorite scientific instrument is the Lock-In Amplifier. Two of the other hats I wear outside of work are as a Board Member and Volunteer for NAMI Lansing and the Treasurer of the Southeast Marble Community Association.
