Curriculum Vitae
Jefferson Lab Research Program
I am a member of the Hadronic Physics Group at the College of William and Mary. My research area is experimental nuclear physics with an emphasis on nucleon structure studies. I am currently involved in experiments in both Halls A and C at Jefferson Lab using polarized helium-3 targets and parity-violating electron scattering. I also maintain a fully functional polarized helium-3 target lab at the College of William and Mary.
