Underground Particle Physics and Astrophysics - Double Beta Decay of 100Mo, 116Cd, and 82Se at sites in Osburn, Idaho and the Frejus Underground Laboratory, France; Construction of testing modules for BaBar's calorimeter at SLAC; color transparency in Nuclei and Large Angle Exclusive Reactions, EVA 850 at BNL; modernization of Williston Observatory with CCD Detectors and Automated Controls.

Next year, Professor Sutton will be working only on simulations. Concerning student projects, I have in mind that there is some computer interface work to be done. The computer that is down in the electronics room has an ADC card in it and Orin has been working with some CS students on a program to get it to work with C++. The projects I have in mind for students is to continue this work with some efforts toward cosmic ray stuff.

Primarily in the field of Complex fluids, also known as structured fluids or "soft" condensed matter. I also have an interest in using new computer technology as an educational tool for visualizing and understanding abstract physical concepts. My specialization is theoretical Condensed Matter Physics. I use analytical techniques as well as computer simulation methods in my research. My main interest is in materials and systems composed of a large number of interacting objects - depending on what I am studying, these objects could be electrons, magnetic spins, or soap-bubbles.

Next year, Professor Tewari will be working only on simulations.
