Research
My research group in interested in particle astrophysics, specifically, the research and development of detectors of cosmic radiation. One of the most mysterious issues in modern physics is the existence of so called Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECRS). We don't know how they can exist, nor do we understand their origin or propagation throughout the universe. We can detect them from the effects of their interaction with various materials. My group is pursuing techniques ranging from radar echo of airshower plasma, to the use of nanoengineered scintillator materials to detect these particles.
