Amazing me!
  • Associate Professor, Physics And Astronomy

Research Summary

I joined the University of Utah in 2004 working in the field of gamma ray astronomy with the VERITAS experiment. Since then, I have pursued various research directions including gravitational wave detection and numerical studies of graphene. I am now working on stellar intensity interferometry using the VERITAS telescopes as light collectors. In parallele, I study the possibility to apply Resolution Scale Relativity in the foundation of quantum mechanics and to describe complex systems.
