• Elementary Particle Physics

Current Research:

My current research is in experimental particle physics. I am a member of the ATLAS collaboration and am working on trigger algorithms, muon reconstruction, and supersymmetry studies. My previous work involved studies of B meson decays. These decays have given us improved understanding of the mechanisms of the Standard Model couplings, and stringent limits on what the physics beyond the Standard Model can look like.
