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.

Ph 1 abc. Classical Mechanics and Electromagnetism.
9 units (4-0-5); first, second, third terms, 2026-27.
A year-long introductory course on classical physics. Topics: Newtonian mechanics in Ph 1 a; electricity and magnetism, and special relativity, in Ph 1 b, c. Emphasis on physical insight and problem solving. Ph 1 b, c is divided into two tracks: the Practical Track emphasizes order-of-magnitude estimations; the Analytic Track teaches and uses methods of multivariable calculus. Students enrolled in the Practical Track are encouraged to take Ph 8 bc concurrently. Students will be given information helping them to choose a track at the end of fall term.
