This researcher works on experimental searches for dark matter, the invisible material thought to make up much of the universe's mass. Their work centers on large underground detectors filled with liquid xenon, especially the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment and its proposed successor XLZD, which look for rare interactions between dark matter particles and atomic nuclei. They also contribute to related rare-event physics such as neutrino studies and detector calibration and development.
Publication activity has been steady over the past several years, averaging about nine papers per year with a notable peak in 2024.
