Research Title
Search for the X(17) Dark Matter Boson
Abstract

My research interests are currently directed towards a search for non-Standard Model physics 

DarkLoght is an international collaboration involving about 25 physicists from Canada, US and Europe. The Canadian contribution to this TRIUMF experiment will be the Fast trigger scintillator system and the DAta Acquisition.
