I’m a research scientist within the PPC group at MIT. My research focuses on experimental particle physics with the CMS experiment at CERN. Over the years, I have worked on searches for supersymmetry and additional Higgs bosons, and I am currently involved in precision measurements and rare decay searches of the Higgs boson using Run 3 data, including the H→μμ analysis, which aims to achieve its first observation. I have also contributed to early studies of the W boson mass and vector boson scattering.
I am actively involved in data science and computing for CMS. I contributed to the development of the NanoAOD data format, helped establish the subMIT data center to support large-scale analysis, and I am currently exploring the use of LLM to assist CMS operations and streamline analysis workflows.
My background is enriched by my experiences with CMS-Run 1 silicon strip detector and CMS-Run 2 hadron calorimeter, and proposal of a forward high-granularity calorimeter for HL-LHC. I am currently exploring detector designs for future experiments such as those planned at FCC-ee.
BIO: I completed my PhD at UC Santa Barbara around the time of the Higgs boson discovery and was subsequently a CERN Fellow before joining MIT as a postdoctoral researcher. I’m stationed at CERN in Switzerland. In my free time, I enjoy sailing on the Swiss lakes and the Mediterranean Sea.
