Bio
I am an Assistant Professor of Physics at the University of New Hampshire. I am affiliated with the Nuclear Physics Group and the Theory Group in the Department of Physics.

My research is partly supported by the Nuclear Theory Program in the Division of Physics of the National Science Foundation.


           I am a member of the  NPLQCD collaboration.

Prior to coming to UNH, I was a Research Assistant Professor at the University of Washington and a fellow at the Institute for Nuclear Theory. Before that I held postdoctoral positions in the Nuclear Theory Group at the University of Washington, the Nuclear Theory Group at the University of Maryland and the Nuclear/Particle Theory Group at Duke University.

I received a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Texas at Austin in 1994 and a B.A. in Physics from Lafayette College in 1988.


Research 
I am running lattice QCD simulations of various quantities of interest on all hardware at my disposal.

In my spare time I've been thinking about large-N QCD as a dynamical system evolved with light-cone time (i.e. light-front QCD).
