You have reached the home page of a poor working stiff at the Cold Neutron Research Facility at the National Institute for Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, MD. Formerly responsible for the Fermi Chopper Time of Flight Spectrometer, he has actively contributed to the design and construction of several neutron scattering instruments, among them:

• Disk Chopper Time of Flight Spectrometer
• High Flux Backscattering Spectrometer
• Filter Analyzer Neutron Spectrometer
• Perfect Crystal SANS
• Advanced Neutron Diffractometer/Reflectometer
• BT7 Thermal Triple Axis
• Multi Crystal Analyzer Spectrometer (MACS)
