Research Interests:

My main field of research is experimental neutrino physics.I have been particularly fascinated with the interplay between neutrinos and cosmology. Why is the neutrino mass so small? How does the mass of the neutrino affect the evolution of galaxies and the universe? Do neutrinos tell us hidden secrets of physics at very high energy scales?

The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory

The Karlsruhe Neutrino Mass Experiment

The Braidwood Reactor Neutrino Experiment
