Research Interests


I am currently working on semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS) at both CLAS12 at Jefferson Lab and the future EIC.
At CLAS12, I am working on extracting beam spin asymmetries with semi-inclusive dihadrons including kaons, giving access to sea quark distributions in the nucleon.
For the EIC, I am working on improving our reconstruction of SIDIS event kinematics using the hadronic final state and machine learning, as SIDIS has not previously been studied in a collider context.
Additionally, I am interested in the use of Cherenkov detectors for particle identification, working on the calibration of the CLAS12 RICH and the development of the EPIC dRICH.
