I am a Principal Data Scientist and Manager at The RepTrak Company.
Previously, I worked as a Research Scientist at Luminoso Technologies, Inc, focusing on Neural Machine Translation (NMT).
Prior to that, I served as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), contributing to the Electronic Detector Group (EDG) in the Physics Department across three major international experiments; DUNE, SBND, and ICARUS.
I am the author of the poetry book, infinite void, finite feelings
I am the creator, developer, and maintainer of socialsignals.info (now deprecated)
I earned my B.S. in Physics from Minnesota State University, Mankato and a Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics from Iowa State University. My graduate research, awarded the Research Excellence Award by Iowa State University, delved into Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) via the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at BNL. My dissertation received the RHIC and AGS Thesis Award for outstanding research at BNL.
My dissertation is available here.

Particle Class Separation:
- Semantic segmentation (pixel-wise classification) network to perform cosmic ray and beam particle separation in prototype DUNE detector.
- The network achieved Intersection-Over-Union (IOU) of 0.94, averaged over three classes.
