Biography
I joined the Colorado School of Mines as an assistant professor in 1999 and have been active in applied nuclear physics research in collaboration with several national laboratories.
The research field I work in can be loosely described as applied nuclear physics.
My current projects are:
- Nuclear astrophysics with radioactive and stable ion beams
- Radiation detector development for neutron induced fission measurements
- Organic scintillator development
Most of the experiments are carried out at national and international laboratories (LANL, LLNL, NSCL/FRIB and TRIUMF).
