I'm an experimental particle physicist working in the Fundamental Physics Directorate at SLAC. I am a member of the nEXO group. I work on some of the big open questions in modern physics:

• Why is the universe full of matter and not antimatter? 
• What is the nature of dark matter?
• How do neutrinos obtain their masses?
• Is lepton number conserved?
• What else can next-generation particle physics experiments teach us about the cosmos?

Most of my work to date has focused on experiments searching for rare phenomena using liquid xenon time projection chambers (TPCs), a highly-scalable detector technology that provides 3D imaging of particle interactions and enables extremely low-background searches for new physics.
