The importance of strong theory & experiment collaboration

Collaboration between theorists and experimentalists is of the utmost importance in our field. Strengthening these connections helps us to produce higher quality studies and model tests, build better targeted experiments, and advance the field more quickly. In my work I have maintain strong connections theorists, collaborating on phenomenological analyses, organizing better data releases, and directly involved them in experimental collaborations.

The value and quick turn-around of small experiments

While much of US particle physics funding is focused on large projects, small scale experiments have an important place in the training of early career scientists and in maintaining the agility of our research programs. In a 2023 P5 townhall, I outline the benefits of small scale experiments and argue for their support from US funding agencies. A copy of this short talk can be found here.

Connections across the energy scale

Connections across the energy scale

We have strong reason to believe there is as of yet unexplained BSM physics, and many observations point to the neutrino sector as a good place to look. I gave a colloquium at MIT-LNS that explores recent thinking on BSM neutrino physics and ways in which we can make connections across a wide range of observable energies. A full copy the talk can be found here. I also covered searches in 100 keV to 100 MeV energy range in a session on BSM connections across the energy scale at the April 2023 APS meeting, a copy of which can be found here.
