Career History:
I am a Canada Research Chair (CRC)
in experimental particle physics at Carleton
University in Ottawa. At the moment, I am engaged on the ATLAS Experiment at CERN,
while I used to be member of the SNO Collaboration. My research activities led to a better
understanding of the mechanism from which elementary particles are
produced in interactions mediated by the weak force. The Carleton group is actively investigating new opportunities,
including the ATLAS
New Small Wheel , the development of a Time
Projection Chamber for the International
Linear Collider.
As a research associate (1998-2001), I worked at
CERN for The University
of Chicago as a member of the OPAL
experiment. I contributed to every aspect of the precise measurement
of the CKM matrix element Vcs by studying charm
production in W decays. As the coordinator of the OPAL single
top analysis working group I also participated in the search for
new physics beyond the Standard Model. Between 1992-1997, I studied
open beauty production at the Y(4S) resonance. I concentrated my work
on the extraction of branching fractions for exclusive production
of P-wave charmed mesons in B semileptonic
decays while being in charge of the offline calibration of the
Drift Chambers of the CLEO II detector.
