Biography:

My name is Rob Carey and I am a high energy physicist. When I was younger, I worked on collider physics at the Fermilab Tevatron (CDF). For the last 17 years I’ve been working on high energy experiments at low energy (Muon g-2, MuLan). I may be shifting to low energy experiment at low energies.
