Research Interests

Current research concerns the role of accelerator component design and materials on beam dynamics of particle accelerators. This includes, or has included, control of photocathode figures of merit by design, Fermilab Booster beam dynamics due to magnet impedance, electron emission in accelerator environments, and use of metamaterials in accelerating structures.

Professional activities include promoting accelerator physics education, through participation as an instructor at the US Particle Accelerator School, and co-coordination of the Lee Teng summer research internship program for undergraduates.
