My primary research interests concentrate on the study of particles containing b quarks and searches for new particles not described by our current Standard Model, such as those predicted by Supersymmetry and the "missing link" of the Standard Model: the Higgs boson. I have pursued these studies at the highest energy electron-positron colliders in the world, and am now continuing these studies at the energy frontier of hadronic colliders. I am also participating in planning for experimentation at the next generation of linear electron-positron colliders.
