From page 71...
... An experimental high-energy and gravitational-wave physicist, he is leading the search for gravitational waves in LIGO and is involved in the Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search project, which is a long-baseline neutrino physics experiment between Fermilab and the Soudan Mine in Minnesota, as well as other major nonaccelerator experiments in both the United States and Italy. He is a former member of the 1991 Astronomy Survey Panel on Particle Astrophysics, the Briefing Panel on Scientific Frontiers and the Superconducting Super Collider for the 1986 physics survey, and the 2001 Astronomy Survey Pane]
From page 72...
... He is a member of the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory collaboration, the Russian-American gallium solar neutrino experiment, and the Majorana project to detect neutrinoless double beta decay.

... , science funding, the government-university research partnership, radioactive waste management, radiation protection regulations, science and security at DOE national labs, and laboratory reform. He is the chair of the OSTP's Neutron Sciences Interagency Working Group; a past member of the Proposal Evaluation Committee for the Los Alamos Spectrometer Development Project and ofthe DOE's Review Committee on the Technical, Cost, Management Review of the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center Short Pulse Spallation Source (LANSCE SPSS)
From page 74...
... After postdoctoral work at Tohoku University and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, he joined the physics department at the University of California at Berkeley in 1995 and was promoted to full professor by 2000. His research interests are in theoretical particle physics, specifically supersymmetry phenomenology, particle cosmology, electron-positron linear collider physics, supersymmetric field theories, and neutrino physics.
From page 75...
... . His specialty is neutrino physics, including neutrino mass and solar neutrinos, and his past research interests have spanned weak interactions, atomic beam magnetic resonance, nuclear astrophysics, isobaric multiplets, and nuclei far from stability.

... Grant Selection Committee, review committees for the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory Nuclear Science Division and Caltech's Physics, Mathematics and Astronomy Division, the editorial boards of Physical Review D and Annual Reviews of Nuclear and Particle Physics, the Scientific Assessment Group for Experiments in NonAccelerator Physics, and review panels for the National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy.
From page 77...
... He also holds appointments in the Department of Physics and Enrico Fermi Institute at Chicago and is a member of the scientific staff at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.
From page 78...
... Warner Prize from the American Astronomical Society, the Julius Edgar Lilienfeld Prize from the American Physical Society, the Quantrell Award for excellence in undergraduate teaching at the University of Chicago, and the Halley Lectureship at Oxford University.
