Professor Alverson is a member of the DØ collaboration at Fermilab (near Chicago)
and the CMS collaborations at CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics. DØ is
now taking data at the highest energy currently available in the world. The CMS
collaboration is currently in the design stage of the construction of a new detector to
be used in the planned Large Hadron Collider at CERN at an even higher energy. His
specialty in recent years has been software, particularly three dimensional visualization
of high energy events, but he has also done Monte Carlo simulation, data acquisition, and
high-speed electronics. He is a former member of the L3 collaboration at CERN, the E706
collaboration at Fermilab, and the E369/E610/E673 collaboration at Fermilab.
