Current Research

My research interests are focus on neutrino physics. I am currently involved in two long-baseline neutrino experiments, MINOS and NOvA. Most of recent accelerator neutrino experiments use beam with neutrino energies of the order of 1 GeV. This is a region where three types of neutrino interactions, quasi-elastic, resonances excitations and DIS evenly contribute to the total cross section. I am interested in both experimental and theoretical aspect of description of neutrino-induced pion production in this region. The future near detector of the NOvA experiment will have the opportunity to measure study all particles created in the neutrino interaction with nucleus.
