Very excited about Ivan Semeniuk's article on the hunt for #darkmatter, #SNOLAB, and #SuperCDMS. Beautiful front page spread teasing the piece in today's edition of the Globe and Mail.

#introduction #reintroduction for all the new folks around here I'm hearing about.

I'm an experimental particle physicist working on the CMS experiment. My primary foci at the moment are top quark physics through the lens of EFT (effective field theory), and FPGA programming for the purpose of development, testing, and operations of detector electronics.

Before CMS, I worked on the SuperCDMS experiment looking for dark matter. I developed the level 1 trigger for the upcoming SuperCDMS run at SNOLAB, and also developed the simulation of the transition edge sensors and charge sensors that are part of the SuperCDMS detectors.

Before SuperCDMS, I worked on the CDF (Collider Detector at Fermilab) experiment. There, I studied the top quark and the Higgs boson. I performed the world's first-ever published search for ttH production, and measured the forward-backward asymmetry in top-antitop production at the Tevatron.
