Research Interests

A primary goal of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is to discover new physics beyond the standard model (BSM) by colliding two beams of protons together at the highest energies ever achieved by human ingenuity. Although the LHC has performed beyond the expectations and delivered large samples of data, no clear evidence of new physics has been found in BSM searches.  My primary research interest is in performing direct and indirect searches for new physics using data collected by the CMS experiment. I am also interested in collider phenomenology and reinterpretation of LHC results. In parallel to my data analysis activities, I am involved in software development for the simulations of the CMS hadronic calorimeter and Level-1 track trigger.
