About

Experimental nuclear and particle physicist. These days I'm in scientific programming, but I've also been a teacher and once spent a lot of time on nucleon structure in fixed target electron scattering and neutrino oscillations using reactors and beam sources.

According to shog9, I'm a kitten. Really. ::purr purr purr::

I am inactive on Stack Exchange for the time being. If you need me I have started a blog in order to maintain some kind of presence on the internet.
