Research Interests

My research is in the field of experimental elementary particle physics, which explores the fundamental constituents of matter and their interactions. I work with theÌýÌýat theÌýÌý(LHC)Ìýat the CERN laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland. The LHC represents the Energy Frontier of particle physics by providing very high energy proton-proton collisions, which are recorded and analyzed to study fundamental interactions. My current effort is focused on searches for evidence of physics beyond the standard model of particle physics including searches for supersymmetry, exotic dark matter models, and lepton flavor violation. My group is also active in research and development for future upgrades of the CMS detector with a focus onÌývery high-speed electronics to select and record the most interesting particle collision events. This work includes cutting edge research in real-time data selection utilizing machine learning deployed in FPGAs.Ìý
