In general, I work on experiments relating to precision measurements of neutron properties in hopes of finding new physics beyond the current Standard Model. Neutrons are an effective way to experimentally determine values that can lead to a better understanding of the universe around us. 

While at East Tennessee State University, I worked with Dr. Robert Pattie to build a prototype electron detector to be used in the Ultracold Neutron Asymmetry (UCNA) Experiment's second data collection at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). After a neutron has gone through beta decay, qualities of its products can be precisely measured to determine angular correlations relating to the Cabbibo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) Matrix. 

Now at the University of Kentucky, I work as a part of Dr. Bradley Plaster's research group on the neutron electric dipole moment experiment (nEDM), also located in LANL. The LANL nEDM experiment uses precision measurements of ultracold neutrons nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to determine if there is an electric dipole present. The experiment is expected to increase the sensitivity to 1 part in 10^(27), one of the most precise measurements to date.
