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!
