Senior Scientist, 2008-present, and Staff Physicist, 1994-2008, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. Deputy Director, Nuclear Science Division, 2010-present. Group Leader for Neutrino Astronomy. Lead 10-person LBNL group working on the 250 member international IceCube 1 km3 neutrino observatory, 2007- present. Co-lead Diffuse and Atmospheric Neutrino Physics Working Group, 2007- present. Co-convenor, STAR ultra-peripheral collisions (UPCs) working group, 1997-2000 & 2002-2007. My research interests focus on neutrino astronomy with the 1 km3 IceCube detector now being constructed at the South Pole. Our group is searching for high-energy extra-terrestrial neutrinos, particularly electron and tau neutrinos. We are also interested in high pT particle (specifically muons) production in cosmic-ray air showers and, more generally, in phenomenology of high-energy nuclear astrophysics. We are also involved with prototypes for the proposed ARIANNA detector; this is a 100 km3 neutrino detector on the Ross Ice Shelf, sensitive to neutrinos with energies above 1017 eV. In addition to the astrophysics, I am also interested in how ultra-high energy particles interact in matter. I also study ultra-peripheral collisions (UPCs) of relativistic nuclei, such as twophoton and photonuclear interactions. UPCs probe a wide range of physics topics, from strong field electrodynamics to meson spectroscopy to entangled quantum states.
