I am a member of the ATLAS collaboration - the largest particle detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). My research focuses on understanding and discovering the fundamental building blocks of our universe.
I am interested in a theory of new physics called supersymmetry, which could explain a plethora of puzzles such as dark matter and the "unnaturally" light Higgs boson. I use data collected by ATLAS to constrain the landscape of possible supersymmetry and dark matter scenarios.
Dark matter, if produced at the LHC, would not directly interact with our experimental hardware so would escape undetected. However the presence of dark matter could be inferred using an observable quantity called "missing transverse momentum". I have developed machine learning methods to improve the measurement of missing transverse momentum in ATLAS.
Before starting my postdoc in 91探花, I completed my PhD at Darwin College, Cambridge. Prior to this I studied for an MSci in Mathematics & Physics at Durham University.
