Physics Me

    BS Physics, UNLV. 1998.

    I am a Graduate Student in High Energy Theory.  Still working on passing my GBO so pray for me.  My advisor is Raman Sundrum.  I am interested in the hierarchy problem and phenomenology.  This means I'd love to find new physics, but that all my bets are on stuff that can been seen by experiments in my lifetime.  In other words, I refuse to learn more string theory than I absolutely need.
 
    I am currently working on AdS/CFT correspondence and dual forumlations of the ADD model.

    In the past I have had an interest in cosmic ray physics.   The origins of the highest energy cosmic rays (>10^19 eV)  are a mystery.  They all should have scattered inelastically off a CMB photon long ago.

    I am also very interested in Astrophysics (for a High Energy type).  I have even been known to hang out with astrophysics students after work.  I have worked on IDL visualization routines, magnetohydrodynamic simulations of accretion disks, N-Body gravitational simulations, and taught Astronomy to gifted High Schoolers.
