I am a member of the CDF experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron, where I performed a precise measurement of the W boson mass.  The final measurement deviates significantly from the Standard Model prediction, as described in (among others) the CERN Courier and the BBC.

I am also a member of the ATLAS experiment at the LHC, where I contributed to the 2012 discovery of the Higgs boson using its decay to a pair of W bosons. I have since performed several measurements of this channel and am currently studying the production of the Higgs boson at high momentum. 

I also tutor second-year quantum mechanics at Corpus Christi and St Catherine's colleges, and third-year nuclear and particle physics at St Catz.
