Leadership in Physics at the Energy Frontier: lead a large group of researchers and students at UTA in cutting edge research projects in the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, Geneva, Switzerland. Joined ATLAS in 1995, led the involvement of UTA group in ATLAS during detector design, construction, operation, computing, and data analysis. Many Masters and Ph.D. Thesis in Physics supervised.
Big Data innovation: lead the development of a new paradigm in computing over the past decade: the PanDA software, which provides physicists automated access to hundreds of supercomputing centers internationally. Thousands of physicists analyze data and publish results in multiple High Energy Physics (HEP) experiments using PanDA. This work was supported through tens of millions in grants from NSF and DOE to UTA, and many times more for researchers elsewhere. Supervised/co-supervised many masters and Ph.D. theses in Computer Science.
New innovation in sensor technology: proposed the innovative Intermediate Tile Calorimeter for the ATLAS experiment at CERN, which improves measurement of missing Et and improves jet resolution. Led a five year project to build 50 tons of calorimeter detector at UTA, followed by installation, calibration and operation at CERN. Multi-million dollar project funded by the National Science Foundation, and the Department of Energy.
New discoveries in fundamental physics: played key roles in HEP experiments that discovered two fundamental particles in physics over the past two decades: the top quark at the Tevatron, and the Higgs boson at the LHC.
New physics searches: early proponent of the search for the supersymmetric partner of the top quark in both the D0 and the ATLAS experiments at the LHC. Supervised Ph.D. student who completed thesis in 2003 in D0, and Ph.D. student who defended thesis in ATLAS in 2015 on this topic.
Supercomputing technology: founding director of the SouthWest Tier 2 supercomputing center, located at UTA and Oklahoma University. Funded by multiple grants from National Science Foundation, and the Department of Energy.
Bold direction in physics: supervised a search for large extra dimensions at DØ. Ph.D. student successfully defended thesis on this topic in 2007.
New calorimeter technology: leadership role in the design, construction and operation of the innovative Inter-cryostat detector for the DØ experiment.
Bold detector innovation: proposed and successfully tested the first use of plastic scintillator detectors inside a liquid argon calorimeter, at the DØ Test Beam.
Advances in QCD: as a postdoc, observed the first signal from the production of c particles in the Fermilab Experiment E672.
QCD phenomenology: as graduate student, studied strange particle hadronization in the neutrino beam experiment E745 at Fermilab.
