Quantum Reactive Scattering: Collision Induced Dissociation
(2010)
A new method of generating basis functions for reactive and collision-induced dissociation
Time-Dependent Quantum Reactive Scattering in Hyperspherical Coordinates
(2013)
We present a time-dependent hyperspherical, wave packet method for calculating three atom state-to-state S-matrix elements.
Co-Spatial UV-Optical HST/STIS Spectra of Seven Galactic Planetary Nebulae: Nebular and Stellar Properties
(2017)
This project had two main goals: (1) to investigate to what extent planetary nebulae (PNe) are chemically homogeneous; and (2) to provide physical constraints on the central star properties of each PN. The first goal was ...
Supersymmetry and the Prisoner of Naturalness
(2017-07-27)
In this work, I will address three concerns of supersymmetry. The first is the notion of naturalness and how much fine-tuning exists in a model. Historical measures, ∆ HS and ∆ BG , have led to an over estimate of the ...
TRANSPORT AND SPECTROSCOPIC STUDIES OF LIQUID AND POLYMER ELECTROLYTES
(2012)
Liquid and polymer electrolytes are interesting and important materials to study as they are used in Li rechargeable batteries and other electrochemical devices. It is essential to investigate the fundamental properties ...
Time dependent radiative transfer: Application on core collapse SNe and cosmic recombination
(2010)
I have conducted my PhD dissertation research at the department of Physics and As-
Naturalness in Supersymmetry
(2015-06)
Weak scale supersymmetry solves the Big Hierarchy problem of the Standard Model. But recent severe sparticle mass limits from the LHC accentuate the Little Hierarchy Problem: Why are the W , Z and h masses so small (∼ 100 ...
Microwave Electrometry with Rydberg Eletromagnetically Induced Transparency in Vapor Cells
(2016-07-20)
An atom-based approach is presented to detect absolute microwave (MW) electric fields (E-fields). The approach uses Rydberg atoms in vapor cells at room temperature. The MW E-field measurements utilize a bright resonance ...
Probing Dark Energy Using Galaxy Clustering Data
(2011)
Dark energy is the most important unsolved mystery in cosmology today. Galaxy clustering provides one of the prime probes of dark energy. This work is focused on developing robust analysis techniques for interpreting galaxy ...
