I am a professor of physics in the Division of Physics, Mathematics, and Astronomy at Caltech.




Research Interests:


What is the nature of the dark matter and dark energy that dominate the universe?  I am focused on efforts that try to better understand these mysterious components.  These efforts tend to have significant technology development aspects: one approach to understanding such elusive phenomena is to find ways to do new and better measurements.

Current Projects (Terribly out of date...):
Past Projects:
In the Works: Opportunities

Grad students are welcome to contact me to discuss any of these projects and whether they might provide good thesis topics.

Undergrads: I only take on Caltech students for summer projects or academic year work.  I may not be able to respond immediately to your requests.

More information

Here are some recent talks, notes, papers, etc. to provide some more information on these projects.
