LHC Physics Center

Profile:

• I am currently a senior fellow at the LHC Physics Center at Fermilab.
• My general research interests lie in Exotica physics searches, such as W', and in hadron-collider triggers.
• I have been serving as Deputy Trigger Coordinator at CMS since summer of 2007. I have recently worked on the W' search in the muon channel with the 2010 pp data, setting the most stringent limit in the world in the sequential SM framework (arXiv:1103.0030, submitted to Phys. Lett. B).
• In 2011, I will be working with my LPC colleagues on a more comprehensive W' search strategy in order to maximize CMS's discovery potential.
