Hello! I am a Research Scientist at TRIUMF, Canada's particle accelerator centre. My research focuses on the searches for new physics carried out by the ATLAS experiment, one of the four main physics experiments of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). This webpage illustrates my research, teaching and outreach activities. Further details about my research interests are provided below in the research tab. For any additional enquire about my work, do not hesitate to contact me following the informations provided in the contact section below!

Research

Despite the extremely precise description of subatomic phenomena provided by the Standard Model, several questions of physics are still open today such as the origin of Dark Matter, the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the universe and the unification of elementary forces at high energy. Look for answers to these questions defines my research activities at the ATLAS experiment. These activities include:

  • Searches for Higgs-boson pair production and supersymmetric particles in hadronic final states.
  • Reconstruction and triggering of jets and Jet/ETmiss.
  • Detector upgrades and physics projections for the High Luminosity LHC.
  • Future particle colliders and detectors.
