Postdoctoral Appointee

I am a currently a Postdoctoral researcher at Argonne National Lab on the ATLAS experiment.

Biography

My primary research interest is searching for physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). I’m especially interested in characterizing the known phenomena of the SM and hunting for contributions of new physics in rare SM processes. I am also currently working on the ATLAS experiment’s tracker upgrade for the High Luminosity LHC by assembling and testing the silicon-based modules which will constitute ATLAS’s upgraded pixel detector. 

Prior to my current position, I worked as a PhD student with Toyoko Orimoto at Northeastern University’s CMS group. I developed and led a new search that utilized the Higgs boson as a probe for physics beyond SM. I also spent my time as a PhD student on the operation of the CMS Electromagnetic Calorimeter and on the timing upgrade of CMS.
