Research Interests
Dr. Spayde uses parity-violating electron scattering as a tool to test the Standard Model and to probe the strange quark structure of nucleons. The experiments in which he is involved are performed at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (www.jlab.org). His work is supported by the National Science Foundation (Award No. 1068032).
