LPC Fellows
What I will be working on:
As an LPC fellow I will focus on studies related to Higgs boson
and electroweak symmetry breaking. I am specifically interested
in events containing two or more heavy gauge bosons in final
states that include lepton + jets + missing transverse energy
(MET). I will work on characterizing high mass WW events in
vector boson fusion topology that can reveal secrets of electroweak
symmetry breaking or new physics at the electroweak scale.
My role in CMS past and present:
I played a leading role in measuring reconstruction/identification/
triggering efficiencies for electrons in CMS, calibration of jet energy
scale, and development of jet identification criteria with early data.
I was a central contributor to the CMS measurements of the
inclusive W/Z cross sections where I co-led the Z analysis team.
I led the CMS analysis team that measured the sum of WW and
WZ production rates and set stringent limits on anomalous gauge
boson couplings. I contributed to the first comprehensive
measurements of jet substructure in CMS. I also led the search for
Higgs boson in WW decay in the semi-leptonic final state.
