Overview
Presently, I am using new technologies to trap free neutrons for use in symmetry tests of the electroweak standard model. In particular, we are building an experiment to search for new sources of Charge-Parity (CP) symmetry violation in the form of a permanent electric dipole moment for the free neutron.

9 units (3-0-6); first, second, third terms, 2025-26.
Prerequisites: Ph 1 abc, Ma 1 abc.
An introduction to several areas of physics including applications in modern science and engineering. Topics include discrete and continuous oscillatory systems, wave mechanics, applications in telecommunications and other areas (first term); foundational quantum concepts, the quantum harmonic oscillator, the Hydrogen atom, applications in optical and semiconductor systems (second term); heat engines, thermodynamic laws, statistical systems and their relationship with the arrow of time, including applications in energy technology and other areas. There will be an optional demo lab participation (third term). Although best taken in sequence, the three terms can be taken independently.
