This is my CV.
Hi, I'm Andrew Askew. I'm currently employed by Rutgers University (the State University of New Jersey), as a postdoctoral researcher in high energy particle physics. I work on both the CMS experiment at CERN, and the DZero experiment at Fermilab.
This is me:
This
is my CV.
Here's a few of my Greatest Hits (physics wise):
I got my PhD from Rice University in 2005. In point of fact, I got my MS from Rice as well. Interesting side note: most physicists either have a non-thesis MS, or don't bother with it if they're PhD track. Rice treats this specially and doesn't have a qualifier for the PhD program: instead they require a thesis MS. My PhD is linked off the Dzero homepage here, but here's a special link to my MS.
“New Diboson Results from Dzero”, Presented at Northwestern University, Jan. 31, 2005. I was invited by a colleague to give a brief seminar at a journal club meeting. First time I'd been to Northwestern, it was nice, though cold. Probably the first time since my thesis defense talking before this large an audience.
“Diboson Cross Sections at √s = 1.96 TeV”, Presented at the XXXXth Recontres de Moriond on QCD and High Energy Hadronic Interactions, La Thuile, Aosta Valley, Italy, Mar. 12-19, 2005. First talk I gave on behalf of both Tevatron experiments. It looks heavy on details, I know, but me talking about it really emphasizes what is important. I guess you had to be there.
“Recent Diboson and Electroweak Results from Dzero”, Presented at Fermilab Joint Experimental-Theoretical Physics Seminar, June 23, 2006. This was a big one: first 3 sigma evidence for WZ in the all lepton mode. Huge audience, packed Curia II to the rafters. It also spawned this article in the CERN Courier, which I mostly wrote.
“Electroweak Cross Sections, Asymmetries, and Diboson Results from the Tevatron”, presented at HCP2007 on the island of Elba, off the coast of Italy. My second talk on behalf of the two Tevatron experiments.
“Life, the Universe, and Electroweak Symmetry Breaking,” a colloquium I gave at the University of Virginia, in February of 2008. Meant to be somewhat lighter, since the audience was the whole Physics department. Mainly Dzero results, but casts an eye forward for physics at CMS.
“Electroweak Measurements (including Dibosons) at the Tevatron”, presented at the XXIst Recontres de Physique de la Valle d'Aoste (La Thuile 2008). Again, speaking for both of the Tevatron experiments. Basically ALL of the Electroweak results from the Tevatron, including the world's shortest W-mass summary.
“Electroweak Symmetry Breaking, Bosons, and Di-bosons”, a seminar I gave at the California Institute of Technology. As an interesting factoid, my funding comes partially from the FSU DoE grant, and partially from an NSF grant to an alliance of FSU/CalTech/FIU. So this is some information exchange, since we're all on CMS.
“Alternative New Physics at the LHC”, presented at “Anticipating New Physics at the LHC”, a conference hosted by the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of California-Santa Barbara. Also: my first talk on behalf of both LHC experiments. There's also video of it!
Other Miscellaneous stuff:
I'm married to a lovely woman, who is also a physicist. You can go see her page here, and the wedding page is still up here (you can get to pictures through that).
What the internet is really for. Pictures of cats. Get Bert more coffee! Lotsa work to do!
Fear the bunny!
I brew my own beer, given the time to do so that is. I get my supplies here. Got a recipe? Let me know. Eventually mine will go here.
