Personal statement:
    My research activities are split between being a facilitator of a newly emerging research group on the campus at Avery Point in Nuclear Physics with the creation of the "Laboratory for Nuclear Science at Avery Point" (http://astro.uconn.edu/) and my own research activities that encompass studies in Nuclear Astrophysics, precision and high sensitivity measurements of Electro-weak phenomena and studies of the structure of the nucleon. I enjoy engaging young students in Science and I enjoy my teaching at Avery Point. And it shows... come and join my class where excitement, intellectual stimulation and my lust for science is guaranteed to "infect" you. I will teach you how a scientist thinks and how close to home Physics is.
