My name is Zachary Warner and I am currently a Ph.D. student at the University of Kansas. My areas of interest include nuclear physics, higher energy particle physics, and astroparticle physics. Currently I am working for a research group whose aim is to further the our understanding of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) by searching for specific signatures in data that is taken from high energy proton-proton collisions and proton-heavy nuclei collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). As a student I am not only interested in learning new physics, but in passing on the knowledge I have obtained in my years of studying physics and astronomy as an undergraduate. For this reason I also spend time both teaching and tutoring undergraduate and high school students who wish to deepen their understanding of the universe.
