Research
My focus is hadron collider physics, previously at the CDF experiment at Fermilab and now at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. I have developed hardware electronic systems for triggering. Recent physics analyses include searching for the production of pairs and triplets of Higgs bosons as well as a Higgs boson in association with another scalar particle. These help determine the shape of the Higgs potential and the particle content of the scalar sector.
