Research interests:

Cornell joined the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2005. My main involvement in CMS has been with the 66M channel pixel detector. The CMS pixel detector is placed closest to the proton-proton interaction point. The excellent spatial resolution of the pixel detector is used to reconstruct vertex positions and seed the track finding. Cornell has been the major contributor to the online software and calibration of the pixel detector. We are also involved with the commissioning and operation of the detector. I was based at CERN in 2010 and 2011 where I was deputy run coordinator for CMS in 2010 and run coordinator in 2011.

With planed increases in the luminosity of the LHC over the next decade we will have to upgrade the detectors of CMS. I'm involved with studies and R&D for upgrades to the tracking detectors. Future tracking detectors will need to provide information to the trigger, which means that some level of data reduction, e.g. by selecting high momentum tracks, is needed on the detector. We are studying different ideas for building modules with two closely spaced sensors that can provide a local correlation to allow rejection of low momentum tracks. I'n co-chair of the track trigger task force together with Marcello Mannelli. With graduate student Souvik Das I have looked at tau identification in CMS for the W to tau channel.

In addition to my work on CMS I'm a member of the CLEO collaboration. My work here has focused on the study of hadronic D and Ds decays. Precise measurements of these decays allow us to better constrain parameters of the standard model. I'm also interested in simulations of particle decays, and improving the performance of the detector by developing better techniques for calibration.

If you are interested in working on CMS with data analysis and detector R&D please contact me as I'm looking for one or more students to join this research program.
