In the CASA group, I've been working on a wide variety of topics. The majority of my work recently has focused on a possible future energy upgrade to CEBAF using FFA recirculating arcs (FFA@CEBAF). I have been PI on two LDRD grants related to this project: one for beam dynamics simulation work, and another to study the resiliency of permanent magnets in a radiation environment. Another major focus has been on CEBAF operations. I provide optics on call support during beam operations, and have been helping with the revival of our aging fast feedback system.I have also mentored/supervised/advised PhD and summer students.Smaller tasks that I have assisted with include: CEBAF Energy Recovery (ER@CEBAF) experiment, positron acceleration in CEBAF, PERLE, UITF Operations, and CEBAF tours!

Norfolk, Virginia, United States

This position in the physics department is mainly to allow my presence on PhD committees, including for my own students.

Mol, Belgium

I was the Beam Optics Expert in the MINERVA Design and Build Institute for the MYRRHA Project at SCK CEN (Belgian Nuclear Research Centre).I was responsible for the beamline and optics design for the various target facilities, including proton beam transport and rastering to the ISOL target, a fusion target, and various dumps. I also worked extensively in the MEBT region of the machine, and overall layout of the facility. This work involved close collaboration with external partners.

Geneva Area, Switzerland

I continued my work on the CLIC and ILC projects. My focus was on beam delivery system tuning simulations using PLACET and GUINEA-PIG, as well as investigating the CLIC post-collision line at 380 GeV using BDSIM.

Oxford, United Kingdom

I was a member of the FONT (Feedback On Nanosecond Timescales) project in the Department of Particle Physics at the University of Oxford. More information on this project can be found at the website: http://www-pnp.physics.ox.ac.uk/~font/index.html .My work focused on simulations of the IP Feedback system for CLIC and the ILC using the LinSim framework for PLACET and GUINEA-PIG. I also worked extensively on tuning simulations for the CLIC beam delivery system in PLACET and GUINEA-PIG.

Daejeon, Korea

Low Energy Beam Transport (LEBT) design and simulation using Trace 3-D, TRANSPORT, and TRACK. These simulations involved the simultaneous acceleration of non-relativistic, multiple charge state beams in an electrostatic lattice.I also designed and simulated the initial LEBT that is to be used in the planned test facility.

Studied applied physics (more precisely, particle accelerator physics). Research had me at Jefferson Lab in Newport News, VA.My dissertation involved the development of a beamline characterization and tuning procedure for the CEBAF machine at Jefferson Lab. It has been used in the 12 GeV Upgrade.

Studied accelerator physics. Work focused on operationally-oriented beam dynamics and diagnostics.

Majored in Physics. Senior research was on measuring group velocity dispersion using white light interferometry. I was a Resident Assistant for a year. I played on the ice hockey team. When I attended Mary Washington, it was still MWC.

Doctor Of Philosophy (Ph.D.), Engineering Physics/Applied Physics

Ph.D. in Accelerator Physics. Research in Center for Advanced Study of Accelerators (CASA) group at Jefferson Lab.

Bachelor Of Science (Bs), Physics
