Research interests
I am a particle physicist, primarily involved in the analysis of data taken by the CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider where I am looking for signs of new fundamental physics.
I also work on the technology of particle detectors, specifically solid-state imaging devices such as silicon pixel detectors.
