I'm David W. ("Dave") Casper, age 39, an Assistant Professor of Physics at University of California, Irvine (UCI).

Originally from Detroit, I attended the University of Michigan and received a Ph.D. in experimental high-energy physics (December 1990). My doctoral thesis, using data from the largest underground detector then existing ("IMB"), confirmed that a transformation between two different varieties of an elusive sub-atomic particle called the neutrino seemed to take place. I received the 1991 Distinguished Dissertation Award, one of four awarded annually, university-wide.

After receiving my doctorate, I moved to Geneva, Switzerland, where I worked as a CERN Fellow on the ALEPH experiment at the LEP electron-positron collider. In addition to re-designing the detector tracking software, I authored two several-hundred page introductory booklets to explain the complex data acquisition and analysis systems of the experiment to new members, and served as a guide for groups visiting the lab.

After six years at CERN, I returned to proton-decay and neutrino physics by joining UCI's neutrino physics group as a faculty researcher. In 1998, new data from the Super-Kamiokande experiment (roughly 7 times larger and 10 times more sensitive than the original IMB detector) showed conclusively that the neutrino transformation phenomenon reported in my doctoral thesis can only be explained if neutrinos have a tiny, but non-zero mass. This fundamental discovery has been widely hailed as the first clear breakdown of the so-called "Standard Model"; since appearing in print, our measurement is the most frequently-cited experimental paper in high-energy physics.

In July, 2001 I was promoted to Assistant Professor at UCI. Since then, I've taught students from introductory to graduate level and also designed a new course introducing non-science majors to the "Great Ideas of Physics". I am a volunteer mentor, faculty contact and life member of the Society for Advancement of Native Americans and Chicanos in Science (SACNAS).

Douglas F. Cowen
Doug Cowen recently joined the Pennsylvania State University as an Associate Professor of Physics and Astronomy. Professor Cowen worked in particle physics from 1983-1994 on the ALEPH experiment at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, and on the CLEO-II experiment at the Laboratory for Experimental Particle Physics at Cornell.

While at the University of Pennsylvania, Professor Cowen initiated a mentoring program for women physics and astronomy majors which played a significant role in increasing the number of women majoring in these fields by a factor of four over a four year period. He also initiated an outreach program in which undergraduates performed physics demonstrations at various West Philadelphia elementary, middle and high schools. Professor Cowen is originally from Edison, New Jersey. He received a B.A. in physics from Dartmouth College in 1983, and an M.S. and Ph.D. degree in physics from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, in 1985 and 1990.

Darrel Smith
I graduated from UC Irvine in 1979 and my career interests have oscillated between antiproton physics and neutrino physics. After graduating from UC Irvine, I stayed a few years (1979-1982) and worked with Dr. Jonas Schultz and Dr. Fred Reines on the IMB proton decay experiment.

In 1982, I moved to CERN where I was a visiting scientist and worked on the UA1 experiment searching for the W and Z particles. In 1985, I returned to UC Riverside where I also joined the D-Zero experiment at Fermilab. In 1990, I accepted an Associate Professor position at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University where two major changes occurred. I began teaching, which I enjoy very much, and I returned to pursuing my interest in neutrino physics. I joined the LSND collaboration to search for neutrino oscillations at the Large Scintillator Neutrino Detector at Los Alamos National Labs. In 1998, I also joined the Mini-BooNE experiment at Fermilab which hopes to make a high precision measurement of neutrino oscillations in the same parameter space as LSND, and ultimately confirm or refute the LSND interpretation for neutrino oscillations.

I received my first NSF grant in 1992 while working on the LSND experiment. This was through the RUI (Research at Undergraduate Institutions) program, which gave me the opportunity to take undergraduate students from Embry-Riddle to work with me at Los Alamos and Fermilab. Over the last 10 years, I've been fortunate to take about 20 students for 8 weeks or more to work at the national laboratories. While most of their research work was done at the labs, in some cases, they have been able to bring their research projects back to our campus to work on them during the academic year. The RUI program has been a valuable resource for exposing undergraduate students to cutting-edge technology and working shoulder-to-shoulder with scientists and engineers at the national labs. The research skills and experience they receive from this program, far exceeds anything our campus has to offer, so this has been a rewarding experience for all of us.

I am also the principle author of our new Space Physics program that will begin in Fall 2003. Our university has been moving from its aeronautical origins into the aerospace arena over the last three years. This new physics program includes traditional areas such as astrophysics, and particle physics, but also includes cosmology, remote sensing, and exotic propulsion systems. There will be plenty of room to introduce neutrino physics in a prominent way into our new degree program.

I look forward to searching out and developing "new" and "innovative" ways to promote neutrino physics through education and outreach, and I'm looking forward to seeing you in Washington, DC.
