My current work is with Professor Mark Oreglia, focusing on the ATLAS detector in the LHC at CERN. I recently have been working on the upgrade to the 3in1 card for the sLHC tile calorimeter. Below is a general description of the problem and the work I have done/plan on doing.

• Noise Characterization of ATLAS TileCal DAQ

• Orbital Precession of Satellites (December 4, 2008) Co-Author with Chris Williams
• Noise Characterization of the ATLAS Tile Calorimeter Readout System (June 3, 2009) Experimental project for Physics 335
• Poster of above project (June 3, 2009)

My work at UCSC was with Bruce Schumm and Hartmut Sadrozinski on Experimental High Energy Physics. My work with Bruce centered around development and analysis of track recontruction algorithms for the proposed International Linear Colloider. A list of my work includes:

• Thesis on Reconstruction of 3-Hit Tracks (May 21, 2008)
• Tracking Efficiency and Momentum Resolution Analysis (March 13, 2007)
• Effects of Tracking Resolution on Jet Mass Reconstruction (July 3, 2007)
• A Package for Tracking Validation (July 6, 2007)
