Honors and Awards
October 2 - December 11, 2010
72nd Arthur H. Compton Lecturer
Twice a year the director of the University of Chicago's Enrico Fermi
Institute selects a postdoctoral scholar to give a series of public
lectures. My series, "Particle Physics: What has it done for you
lately?" explored the use of particle accelerators and detectors for
purposes other than basic research.
Teaching Experience
2003 – 2004
University of Maryland NSF GK-12 Fellow
Contributed to K-12 science education by writing lessons, conducting
labs, and performing demonstrations.
Outreach
Spring/Fall 2010
Adopt A Physicist participant
Emailed back and forth with high school students on what it's like to
study physics and make it into a career.
February 2010
National Lab Users Trip to Washington, DC
Every year 30-40 physicists from the users groups of the SLAC National
Accelerator Laboratory, Fermilab, and the US Large Hadron Collider
community travel to Washington, DC to meet with senators and
representatives. We discuss our work and its importance to our
nation's competitiveness.
2008 – 2010
Annual DOE Science Bowl Regional Volunteer
Helped run the gameshow-style science competition for high school
students. The winners of the regional competitions go to the national
competition in Washington, DC.
2007 – 2008
SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory Tour Guide
Gave several tours per week to the general public. Tours included a
presentation of the lab's mission and achievements and stops at the
linear accelerator, a decomissioned detector, and the visitor's
center.
