Employment History

1998 -      Researcher at the INFN-LNS Catania, Italy. Prepared and helped test prototype focal plane detector and start detector for the proposed MAGNEX spectrometer. Simulated MAGNEX performance with GEANT computer tool.

3/99-4/99 Visiting Scholar at the University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC, USA. Prepared grant request for the NSF International Programs Division. Completed article on proton transfer and decay from the continuum.

7/98-12/98 EPSRC Visiting Fellow at the Department of Physics, University of Surrey, Guildford. Analysed data from (11Be,10Be) GANIL experiment. Investigated kinematically-complete direct reaction studies for proposals with radioactive beams.

1995 - 97 Visitor at three nuclear physics laboratories in France, supported by the CNRS/IN2P3 and ADER of Lower Normandy.

1. GANIL (Caen): Worked with the "Exotic nuclei" group, preparing experiments on g -decay and lifetime measurements.
2. LPC (Caen): Performed feasibility studies for new research programme with radioactive beams. Monte-Carlo simulation of spectrometer-silicon array coincidence efficiency.
3. IPN (Orsay): Analysed and published (7Li,7Beg) experiment. Co-spokesman for p(11Be,10Be)d experiment performed at GANIL.

1987 - 94 Physicist at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory, East Lansing, Michigan, USA. Liaison between visiting scientists and local technical staff.
