Andrew Norman graduated from the College of William and Mary Physics Department in 2004. During his graduate career he worked as a researcher with the William and Mary High Energy Group (W&M HEG) under John Kane, Morton Eckhause and Robert Welsh. His areas of research were in the rare decays of the long-lived neutral kaon, searches for physics beyond the standard model, muon to electron conversion and other topics in medium and high energy particle physics. His research was primarly in association with Brookhaven National Labs on AGS Experiments E871 and E935.

His PhD thesis, "Measurement of the Branching Fraction for Klong to Mu Mu E E" focused on extraction of the rare decay process from the E871 data set. The measurement revealed new insight into probable existence of a non-uniform formfactor for the decay most consistent with the predictions from chiral perturbation theory. The details of the experiment and analysis are available in the electronic copy of the dissertation found here.

Andrew Norman is currently a Research Scientist with the University of Virginia High Energy Physics Group. His research focuses on Lepton Flavor Violation and Neutrino mixing. Currently is stationed at Fermi National Accelerator Lab (Fermilab) as active and leading member of the NOvA Experiment, Mu2E Experiment, and DZero Experiment.

For a current listing of his research and publications see his Virginia or Fermilab web pages.
