I am a graduate student in the [[University of Toronto|http://www.utoronto.ca]] [[Physics Department|http://www.physics.utoronto.ca]] currently working towards a doctorate. I got my undergraduate degree from ~McGill University between 2002-2005. Before coming to Toronto I spent a year living in Kyoto, Japan, where I worked a bunch of random jobs including information agent for a big shopping mall and model for a medical equipment company's video catalog. Ironically, the latter is the only job I have ever had which required me to wear a lab coat. I am originally from Cantley, Quebec, a small town located ~10 kilometers north of Ottawa, Ontario. I like cats, music, and comedy, yet the musical 'Cats' is strangely unappealing to me.

I am a member of the University of Toronto experimental high-energy physics group working on the [[ATLAS experiment|http://cern.ch/atlas]] at CERN. My supervisor is [[Prof. William Trischuk|http://www.physics.utoronto.ca/~william]]. You can open a list of my publications by clicking [[here|Publications]].
!!!Beam conditions monitoring
The ATLAS [[Beam Conditions Monitor|http://cern.ch/bcm]] (BCM) is a detector array consisting of 8 modules arranged symmetrically about the center of the ATLAS detector, each of which contains a pair of pCVD diamond pads fitted with fast electronics. The fast signal acquisition and excellent time resolution of the BCM allows real-time monitoring of the beam conditions in ATLAS using time-of-flight measurements. I have been involved with the BCM group since mid-2007. Using simulated data, I studied the expected BCM background from collisions and "natural" beam loss (gas/halo), as well as the potential danger to the ATLAS inner detector from a few credible beam accident scenarios and the BCM's ability to detect these. I also made numerous contributions to the BCM's online (postmortem) and offline (digitization algorithm, pool converters, bytestream encoder/decoder) software.
!!! Single top quark production
Electroweak production of top quarks is interesting for two main reasons: it is the only way to directly measure the CKM matrix element |Vtb|, and it is sensitive to a wide range of beyond-the-~Standard-Model scenarios. Single top quark production was discovered in early 2009 by the CDF and ~DZero collaborations; however the much larger center-of-mass energy of the LHC means that single top production will be much more common in ATLAS, allowing for separation of the different contributions (t-channel, s-channel, Wt-channel) to single top quark production.
!!! Past experiments
During my undergraduate senior year (2004-2005), I worked on the [[CDF experiment|http://www-cdf.fnal.gov]] under the guidance of [[Prof. Andreas Warburton|http://www.physics.mcgill.ca/~awarburt]] (~McGill University). I spent most of my time measuring prescale factors and deriving trigger efficiency curves for a b-jet cross section analysis.
