In addition, he is a member of the Faculty Advisory Board to the Dedman College Interdisciplinary Institute and is a member of the SMU Center for Scientific Computation. He is a member of the international ATLAS Collaboration, a group of 3000 physicists from over 177 research institutions in 38 countries. The ATLAS Experiment, operated by the collaboration, is located at the Large Hadron Collider at the CERN particle physics laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland. ATLAS is an 8-story-tall, 50-yard-long, 100-megapixel subatomic digital camera, capable of taking 400 million pictures per second. This allows physicists to capture images of subatomic particle collisions and study the debris in an attempt to determine the laws and building blocks of the cosmos.
