Who I Am

1996 graduated from Cornell University with a PhD in Experiment Particle Physics.

1996-98 post-doc with Paul Avery at University of Florida

1998-present Software Architect at Laboratory of Experimental Particle Physics at Cornell University

What I Do

Since 1998 I have been the CLEO experiment's software architect for offline (not data acquistion) system.

My Professional Interests

I have a very strong interest in 'usable' software and in data visualization.
