Of the 17 known fundamental particles, I study the three neutrinos, which are tiny, but extremely numerous throughout the universe. My focuses have been on creating neutrino beams and understanding how they interact with matter.
More recently I've started helping build the Mu2e detector which will look for the bizarre transition of one fundamental particle (the muon) into another fundamental particle (the electron) without any mediating neutrinos.
