- Led the design and construction of the calibration systems of the DEAP-3600 experiment; data from these systems is published in this paper and underpins the dark matter search results reported here. Worked with a PhD student to develop the photon counting analysis used for the energy and particle identification estimators, and supervised the postdoctoral researcher who led the Energy Calibration working group. Served as the lead reviewer for the signal extraction analysis, and was one of the three members of the paper editorial committee responsible for preparing the paper for publication.
