Biography
I am an experimental particle physicist and part of the . I have been a member of the since 2014. My predominant research interests involve searching for, and measuring CP violation (a violation of the symmetry between matter and anti-matter) in B meson decays using data from the LHCb experiment at . These measurements provide a powerful and precise test of the Standard Model and are sensitive to New Physics (NP) particles at extremely high energy scales.
I am the holder of an STFC Ernest Rutherford Fellowship for the project "" which predominantly exploits LHCb data to better constraint the CKM unitarity triangle angle γ.
I also hold an ERC Starter Grant for the "" project (underwritten by the UKRI Frontier Research Guarantee) which studies charmless B&²Ô²ú²õ±è;→&²Ô²ú²õ±è;VV decays in order to extract information on CP violating quantities. This funds two of the PhD students and two of the post-docs in my group.
I did my PhD (2010-2014) at Imperial College London on the Higgs decay to two photons, H → γγ, at the , under the supervision of .
