Professor Latimer's research interests are rooted in theoretical particle physics. Early in his career, he studied neutrinos in an effort to determine methods by which we could come to understand some of the lesser-known properties of these weakly interacting particles. More recently, his research focus has shifted to dark matter. In particular, he is exploring potential observational consequences of the suppressed electromagnetic interactions of dark matter candidates. He is the author of more than 30 peer-reviewed research articles, many of them co-authored with Puget Sound students whom he has mentored in summer research or senior theses. Outside of particle physics, he is open to working on projects in classical electrodynamics, computational biophysics, general relativity, and quantum mechanics.

Professor Latimer's teaching interests run the gamut: including introductory physics, modern physics, electricity and magnetism, quantum mechanics, classical mechanics, and general relativity. Recently, he has been working to integrate computational methods into these courses.
