I am a professor of physics in the Department of Physics, University of Wisconsin. I work with the UW High Energy Physics group, on BaBar experiment at SLAC laboratory in Stanford and CMS experiment at CERN laboratory in Geneva. My scientific interest is in the study of fundamental particles. I currently work on the study of short lived particles called B-mesons that are being produced profusely in electron-positron collisions at the SLAC B-Factory. The BaBar experiment at SLAC is studying physics of B and its anti-particle (B-Bar) meson decays, with the aim of understanding asymmetries in their behavior. I am also involved in the preparation of future experiments that involve collisions of high energy protons. These experiments are expected to answer unresolved questions about the current standard theory of matter and energy, and enable an even deeper level of knowledge about fundamental interactions in nature. In the past I participated in ZEUS experiment which measured proton structure and other strong interaction physics, and in SLD experiment which made precision measurements of the Standard Model parameters. My day-to-day work involves teaching, supervision of students, software development for physics data analysis, online event selection, detector simulation and trigger electronics design.
