Research

My research is in the field of Elementary Particle Physics, which strives to elucidate Nature's inner workings at the most fundamental level. I am currently involved in the ATLAS experiment located at CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics. ATLAS is currently under construction and is scheduled to start taking data at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2007. The LHC will collide proton beams with an energy of 14 TeV and will open up a totally new energy frontier. This leap into uncharted territory will allow us to tackle many important questions including some of Nature's most puzzling mysteries: the origin of mass, the nature of dark matter, the unification of fundamental interactions, the search for extra dimensions, and more. |
