Dissertation Defense, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, Alabama
This talk was my Ph.D. dissertation defense titled, “Search for Signatures of Large Extra Dimensions in High-Mass Diphoton Events from Proton-Proton Collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV with CMS”. This is based on my work as a graduate student at the University of Alabama.

This interactive journal club talk was based on my dissertation research and is titled, “Search for large extra dimensions using high-mass diphoton events collected with CMS in 2016”. Details of the club are given at https://physics.ua.edu/experimental-particle-and-astroparticle-physics-journal-club.
Parallel talk, APS April Meeting 2018, Columbus, Ohio
This talk was given on the result of my dissertation research titled, “Search for signatures of large extra dimensions in high-mass diphoton events using proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV with CMS”. The APS April Meeting is an annual national conference in the field. More info can be found at http://meetings.aps.org/Meeting/APR18/Session/C09.5.

This is the pre-approval talk I gave on behalf of my analysis team presented to the CMS EXO Physics Analysis Group. It is titled, “EXO-17-017 pre-approval: Search for a non-resonant excess in the high-mass diphoton channel at 13 TeV”. As the Analysis Contact, I helped lead our analysis to a successful pre-approval after 2 years of research. This allowed our analysis to proceed into internal review, where it was scrutinized before being approved for publication.
Talk, CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
This talk was presented during our summer CMS Week collaboration meeting. It is titled, “HF and HEP17 Phase Settings in 2017”. This is based on my work timing-in the CMS hadron calorimeter (HCAL) during the 2017 upgrade at the start of that year. The hardware was upgraded on the HCAL hadron forward (HF) subdetector and on sector 17 of the positive side of the Hadron Endcap (HE).
