I am an associate professor in the Department of Physics at American
University. The links here are outdated, but have some more information
about me, my research and my teaching.
This following statement was true in 2007:
“After completing my undergraduate degree at Duke University in 1995,
double-majoring in physics and English, I received my Ph.D. under Arno Bohm in theoretical particle physics from the
Department of Physics at the University
of Texas in Austin in 2001. After graduating, I was a
Wiess Instructor of Physics in the Department of
Physics and Astronomy at Rice
University for two
years. In Fall 2003, I joined American
University as an assistant professor.
I spent Spring and Summer 2006 in the Physics Faculty at the University of
Trento, Italy on a Fulbright Junior Lectureship, where I worked on my
research and taught a class on group theory in quantum mechanics. Here is
my CV.
My research focuses on questions at the intersection of particle physics
and quantum information theory. In particular, I study how to quantify
entanglement in particle systems and how entanglement changes in scattering
processes. Currently, I have undergraduate students working with me on this
topic, funded by the Research Corporation. See my publication list for my most recent work.
I am also interested in physics education research and try to apply it
to what I do in my classroom, teaching physics at the introductory and
advanced levels. In particular, I am always experimenting with new
technology in the classroom and on the web with the goal of engaging and
assisting as many students as possible.
I am interested in surpervising student
research. Please contact me if you would like to find a project of mutual
interest.”
I will update this all soon.
