Expertise
Experimental particle physics: precision tests of the electroweak sector of standard model of particle physics and search of new physics beyond the standard model.Profile
Please visit my new faculty profile page.
My research is focused on particle physics at the energy frontier. As part of the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider, our group performs measurements exploring the electroweak sector of standard model of particle physics and searches for new physics beyond the standard model. We are also interested in the design, construction, and commissioning of next generation particle detectors.
