Phenomenology of high energy collisions of protons relevant to the Large Hadron Collider- Developed a mathematical formalism to satisfy and preserve constraints on parton momentum distributions, allowing for numerical computation of the cross section for the Drell-Yan process while accounting for double-parton interactions.- Used MATLAB, Mathematica, and C++ to analyze the multi-parton interactions from a theoretical and phenomenological standpoint using existing data.- Coauthored "Constraining the double gluon distribution by the single gluon distribution", published in Physics Letters B.

I worked to analyze and distinguish atmospheric neutrino signals in hopes of being able to differentiate them from proton decay signals.- Created a 3D particle interaction simulation in C++.- Included a complete range of functionality including tracking, geometry, physics models, and hits.- Ran spatial statistics to analyze distances between particle interactions in ice, chlorine, and gadolinium.- Ran signal statistics to differentiate between event signal and background events.- Performed cost analysis on a real world implementation of this detector and concluded real world implementation would be too costly.
