Research Interests

I have been involved for many years in studying the properties of heavy quarks. In 1988 I worked with an international group of physicists at Fermilab, the highest energy accelerator in the world, to produce some of the most precise measurements on charmed particles ever made. Many of the reconstruction techniques pioneered by that experiment are being used today by other experiments in the field. A few years ago we made major improvements over that experiment to do the highest statistics charm experiment ever done. We are busy analyzing that data on a large parallel processing computing facility constructed by the high energy physics group at the University of Mississippi.

For the future I will be moving on to studies of B-mesons and more exotic searches into the mysteries of other heavier particles at Fermilab, SLAC, and other future high energy accelerator facilities.
