One of the big perks of the academic career path is sabbatical -- a year or half-year without teaching, where you often travel to a different location and often focus on some big project or perhaps a totally new subject. My path to tenure was pretty quick PhD (5 yrs), post-doc …

I'm looking forward to presenting our LHC exhibit at the USA Science & Engineering Festival in Washington, D.C. again this year. As part of my outreach activities, funded by the NSF I developed this exhibit. The idea was inspired by the LIGO exhibit that I saw (partially) on display at …

Inspired by the deep insights revealed in the recent work around the Amplituhedron, a new and deeper mathematical principle has revealed itself. While the amplituhedron caused quite a buzz even outside of the world of theoretical particle physics, thus far it is restricted to \(\mathcal{N}=4\) supersymmetry. In contrast …

I updated my Research page to include the Altmetric badges to highlight a few papers that I've been involved with that had some impact outside of high energy physics. On the side, I was wanting to try out the INSPIRE API. So I put the two together to make a …

This weekend's project was a fun one!

Update: Since the original post I made some more progress. I'm developing the code into my GitHub play/manifoldLearning repository. Below is from the README.

I'm working on a paper about Informtion Geometry.
The first step was an iPython notebook on Visualizing information …
