4.2 Course Development

I have developed curricula for two new physics courses at MSU. Both of these courses arise from the newPA graduate curriculum, which began Fall 2014. I played a large role in developing the new HEP coursestructure. As a consequence, I have had the opportunity to build curricula for two of these new courses.

• Physics 950: Data Analysis Methods for High-Energy and Nuclear Physics

I have developed a curriculum, PHY 950, which is a graduate-level course on statistical analysis meth-ods and data analysis techniques for students in HEP and nuclear physics. This is one of the firstHEP courses offered in the new PA graduate curriculum. PHY 950 covers a broad range of standardmethods in statistical analysis, ranging from the basics applications of parameter estimation, hypoth-esis testing and Monte Carlo methods. It alsos include topics in modern data analysis techniques suchas maximum likelihood fitting, multidimensional analysis techniques, machine learning and modernsoftware tools.

The curriculum for PHY 950 was designed with input from representatives in the MSU nuclear physicsgroup to develop a course which can broadly address the needs of both the HEP and nuclear physicsstudents. By presenting topics common to both groups as well as a subset of topics unique to eachgroup, we have an ideal opportunity to broaden the educational horizons of MSU’s graduate students.

• Physics 493/803: Introduction to Particle Physics

PHY 493/803 is the result of splitting the old PHY 492 course (Particle and Nuclear Physics) intothe two distinct subjects of Particle Physics (PHY 493/803) and Nuclear Physics (PHY 492/802).I argued successfully with the graduate and undergraduate program committees that the materialpreviously covered in PHY 492 was too diverse to teach in sufficient depth to allow students to bridgeto more advanced courses. By focusing on Particle Physics, PHY 493/803 can now be sufficientlydetailed for both graduate and undergraduate students to gain a proper overview of the field. I havedeveloped PHY 493/803 as a comprehensive overview of Particle Physics while providing quantitativerigor as appropriate to the senior undergraduate level. This course also reviews a wide range of modernparticle physics experiments and the relevant experimental techniques commonly used. The extensionfor graduate students includes a group project focused on modern calculations of observables and theirmeasurement.

4.3 Graduate Students Supervised

I have supervised the research of eight MSU graduate students. I am/was the official advisor of five of thesestudents and three others were jointly supervised with other faculty. In my research roles at internationallabs, I have supervised numerous graduate students from other universities.
