About
I am an experimental high-energy particle physicist and member of the ATLAS Collaboration at CERN, which is home to the world's most energetic particle particle collider, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The LHC collides protons at incredibly high energies and data taken by experiments at the LHC, such as the ATLAS detector, help us better understand fundamental particles and their interactions. One of these particles is the Higgs boson. It is the focus of my current projects, which revolve around the so-called Higgs boson 'self-coupling'. In complement to this, I also work on the testing of the end cap of the inner tracker of the ATLAS detector with the aim of upgrading the ATLAS experiment for the High Luminosity LHC.
My past work has also been concerned with the Higgs boson, albeit with different aspects of it. Most notably during my PhD at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (Belgium), I performed research on the interaction between the Higgs boson and the charm quark. Previously, I completed a B.Sc. and M.Sc. at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (Germany).
Alongside my Glasstone Research Fellowship, I am also an Extraordinary Junior Research Fellow at the Queen's College.
