Scientific and Technical Leadership

My research career has included a sustained component of scientific, technical, and infrastructure leadership in experimental nuclear and particle physics. This work has often focused on enabling large collaborations to operate, process data, preserve operational knowledge, and coordinate distributed technical activity.

Leadership Roles and Responsibilities

• Convener of the SiD Detector Optimization group (2019-2022)
• Director of the PANDA Grid Project (2004-2012)
• Chair of the Detector Controls System (DCS) group in PANDA (2007-2012)
• Member of the PANDA Technical Board (2009-2012)
• Manager of the STFC-PANDA Project (2009-2011)
• CLAS Shifts Coordinator (2007-2012)
• Member of the PANDA Computing Committee (2009-2012)
• Member of the CLAS Service Work Committee (2009-2012)

Research Software and Knowledge Infrastructure

This work reflects a continuing interest in the scientific infrastructure of experimental physics: detector operation, distributed computing, data-quality monitoring, expert-knowledge preservation, and reliable access to collaboration knowledge.

• Developer of the NA62 Expert Language Model (ELM) / Expert Model-Orchestration System, a provenance-aware system for retrieval and synthesis of experiment-specific technical knowledge (2025-2026)
• Long-term developer and maintainer of experiment-critical infrastructure software for NA62, GridPP, PANDA, CLAS, HERMES, and local PPE systems
