Now for a little bit about myself. I am currently an astronomy-physics major at the University of Virginia. My research interests are experiemental particle physics, particularly particle astrophysics. I have some experience with simulation and data analysis. I worked for Professor Craig Dukes during the summer of 2006 doing waveguide simulations. I am currently working for the IceCube collaboration for Professor Teresa Montaruli doing optical photometry on six blazars. In the fall, I will be writing my undergraduate thesis under Professor Dukes as part of the NOvA experiment. I intend to go to graduate school, get a PhD in Physics, and do research. For more information about me, my CV can be downloaded here. All questions, comments, and concerns about this webpage should be directed to me at nef7j at virginia dot edu.
