LHC Physics Center

What I will be working on:

My research as a LPC Distinguished Researcher will focus on new Physics searches with CMS. I will analyze Run-3 CMS data to search for long-lived particles (LLPs) decaying in the CMS muon detectors. In addition to that, I will be developing new triggers aiming to enhance the sensitivity to exotic signatures in the High-Luminosity LHC era.

My role in CMS past and present:

I have been a member of the CMS Collaboration since 2017. During my PhD, I performed diboson cross-section measurements and searches for new Physics in dileptonic final states. As a postdoctoral researcher at Rice University, I primarily work on the CMS Trigger system. I am one of the main contributors to the design of the High Multiplicity Trigger, which targets LLP decays producing showers of hits in the CMS muon system. In parallel, I devote part of my time to analyzing CMS data, including searches for LLPs, and Higgs boson measurements in the W+W- decay channel (among others). Regarding coordination positions within the CMS Collaboration, I have hold two convenerships within the Muon Physics Object Group (Muon Calibration and HLT, Feb. 2022- Sep. 2024), and I am currently coordinating the Non-hadronic subgroup of the Exotica Physics Analysis Group, covering resonant and non-resonant Beyond the Standard Model phenomena with non-hadronic final states (Sep 2024 - present).
