I am interested in particle physics at smallest possible distances and highest possible energies. Currently, research is focused on the Compact Muon Solenoid Experiment (CMS) at the LHC collider.

We are working in particular on development and construction of silicon pixel tracking detectors, experimental techniques such as detector calibration and event reconstruction as well data analysis on top quark physics, higgs physics and searches for supersymmetry.

Earlier I have been working on QCD and new particles searches at the HERA experiments H1 and ZEUS, on trigger development for the LHCb experiment and on the FREJUS proton decay experiment.

Curriculum Vitae
