I am a lecturer in Physics in the department of
Computer Science Mathematics and Physics at the University of
the West Indies at Cave Hill, Barbados. I did my BSc at UWI, St
Augustine, DICTP at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics,
Italy, and MSc and PhD at the University of Kansas.
My area of research is high energy astrophysics and I am currently a collaborator on IceCube, a cubic kilometre neutrino observatory located at the South Pole.
I'm
teaching year two Classical Mechanics and year one Electricity
and Magnetism. In the past I have taught Quantum Mechanics,
Quantum Field Theory, and Particle Physics.

IceCube
I work on the IceCube neutrino experiment located at the South
Pole. IceCube, a telescope under construction at the South Pole, will
search
for neutrinos from the most violent astrophysical sources: events like
exploding stars, gamma ray bursts, and cataclysmic phenomena involving
black holes and neutron stars.
At the South Pole
Doing astrophysics in Antarctica means you get to go to the South
Pole to do your work. I've been fortunate to go twice to the South Pole
while I was a PhD student at the University of Kansas. You can read frequent updates on life at the South Pole on the IceCube Blog.
Some of our recent results can be found in these papers.
