| Research Interests | |
|---|---|
| Experimental high energy physics (a.k.a. elementary particle physics) | |
| Main Contributions to the Research Field | |
|---|---|
| Higgs boson physics (CMS Experiment at LHC, CERN, 2004-present) • Discovery of a Higgs boson candidate with a mass near 125 GeV in a combination of multiple search channels • Measurements of couplings of the Higgs boson to the SM particles from a combination of multiple search channels • Observation of the Higgs boson candidate in the standalone H→ZZ→4l search channel • Precision mass measurements of the Higgs boson candidate in the H→ZZ→4l channel • Establishing spin-parity quantum numbers of the Higgs boson candidate in the H→ZZ→4l channel • Observation of Z→4l decays in pp collisions, a "standard candle" for the H→ZZ→4l search 2011-2012: CMS Higgs combination group convener 2009-2010: CMS Higgs Physics Analysis Group convener | |
| Supersymmetry physics (CMS Experiment at LHC, CERN, 2010-present) • Search for SUSY particles, produced in electroweak interactions, in events with multi-leptons and missing energy • Search for SUSY, produced in strong interactions, in events with same-sign dileptons, jets, and missing energy | |
| CMS Experiment 2006-2009: Deputy Project manager for the CMS Endcap Muon System ($2M per year, 15 institutions) 1994-2005: Led design and construction of the CMS Endcap Muon detectors ($18M project, 9 research institutions) | |
| Quantum Chromo-Dynamics physics (CDF Experiment at Tevatron, Fermilab, 1996-2008) • Jet fragmentation studies aiming to advance our understanding of the relative roles of perturbative and non-perturbative domains of QCD in forming the main characteristics of quark and gluon jets | |
