I'm a [[graduate student]] in Experimental [[Particle physics|Particle Physics]] at [[University of California, Berkeley|The University of California, Berkeley]]. I originally intended to write only about stuff I have direct personal experience with or know a lot about, for example the [[A Toroidal LHC ApparatuS|ATLAS]] experiment, of which I am a member. This has been expanded slightly with occasional edits in other areas; I have also defined myself to know "a lot" about most areas of particle physics that don't need highly-quantitative explanations, which obviously depends on your point of reference.
