BIO & RESEARCH INTERESTs

I am experimental particle physicist, working on the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. My main interests are searching for new physics beyond the Standard Model, like dark matter particles, precision measurements in the top quark sector, and development of new detector technologies for future high and low energy particle experiments.

Research Interests:

I am interested in searches for new physics in both direct (hints of new particles in data) and indirect ways (deviations from the Standard Model in precision measurements). Our experimental high energy physics group includes three faculty members, two postdoctoral fellows, four engineers, and several graduate and undergraduate students. On the hardware side, we are working on the development of new silicon tracking detectors for future experiments. I am also passionate about applying machine learning methods to the experimental particle physics analyses.
