Ph.D. StudentMy research:
I am a Ph.D. student in Physics at Temple University working with the CLAS12 Collaboration at Jefferson Lab. My research focuses on semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS) to study nuclear effects and transverse momentum-dependent (TMD) distributions using pion production from nuclear targets.
My expertise is:
Experimental nuclear physics, SIDIS data analysis, Monte Carlo simulations, ROOT, and scientific computing with the CLAS12 experiment.
A problem I’m grappling with:
Developing robust and reproducible analysis workflows that accurately account for detector acceptance, radiative corrections, and systematic uncertainties in SIDIS measurements.
I’ve got my eyes on:
Improving precision measurements of nuclear structure with CLAS12 while developing modern, reproducible software tools for large-scale physics analyses.
I want to know more about:
Research software engineering, high-performance computing, collaborative open-source software development, workflow automation, and modern data analysis techniques for particle and nuclear physics.
