I am also the STFC contact at the School of Physics and Astronomy for matters related to PhD scholarships and the contact for the Graduate training network GRADnet of the South East Physics network SEPnet. I am also the contact for the NExT Institute. Starting from the academic year 2020/21 I have been deputy exam board chair and acting exam board chair of the School of Physics and Astronomy. In this role, I have managed the exam paper review and the execution of the semester A and the semester B main exams and of the summer LSR exams, dealing with plagiarism cases, interacted with external examiners and chaired several UG SEB meetings. I have also been a member of the task forces for the development and implementation of a blended teaching approach at the School of Physics and Astronomy in the academic years 2020/21 and 2021/22. In this functionality, I have worked on the implementation of new assessment strategies and a hybrid classroom approach. I am deputy leader of the PPRC ATLAS Level-1 calorimeter trigger group. Brief research summary I have dedicated my physics research to High-energy physics at particle colliders. During my UG studies at Mainz university, I participated in the construction of the A4 calorimeter at the MAMI accelerator at Mainz University, and in the construction of the Compass experiment at the SPS at CERN in Switzerland. During my MSc in Mainz, I developed and performed a search for supersymmetric particles, sleptons, indirect production and through gaugino cascades, at the electron-positron collider at LEP. I managed to derive the first lower limit on the selectron mass which was independent of the mass difference to the lightest supersymmetric particle. For my PhD with Freiburg university, I continued searching for supersymmetry: I established the first search for associated chargino-neutralino production in tri-lepton final states at the D0 experiment at the proton-antiproton collider Tevatron in Illinois. I was also responsible for the calorimeter control system, developed new triggers for isolated electrons and photons and designed the electron/photon trigger suite. After the PhD, I moved to the ATLAS experiment as a postdoc with IFAE Barcelona, where I managed the online and offline commissioning and the first operation of the ATLAS Tile calorimeter. I was also responsible for the analogue calibration and monitoring readout system. I developed the first feasibility study for in-situ jet calibration. As a research assistant with Goettingen University, during LHC Run1, I developed the first measurement of associated Z+jets production and later managed all measurements with W and Z bosons. I also searched for Higgs bosons in decays to 2 tau-leptons. I have developed trigger monitoring software and participated in the operation of the ATLAS detector, as a calorimeter, trigger and monitoring expert and as a shift leader. I was appointed ATLAS analysis software coordinator at the critical phase where we reorganized the software for Run-2. In LHC Run2, from 2015-2017, I have managed all ATLAS measurements of QCD and electroweak processes, a position where I reported directly to the Physics Coordination. I also published the first Z+jets cross-section measurement at cms energies of 13TeV and established the Higgs-Yukawa coupling to fermions, using Higgs decays to two tau-leptons. I also worked on tau identification and the reconstruction of di-tau final states. I participated in the operation of the ATLAS detector as ARC shift leader. During LHC Run2, I moved to PPRC at QMUL. Using the full ATLAS Run-II data, I have performed the first measurement of the production of Z bosons in association with high-energetic jets. I am currently preparing a publication on the measurement of the production of a Z boson in association with charm and bottom quarks, both key backgrounds to Higgs and BSM searches. I have published a search for a neutral heavy Higgs boson arising from 2HDM models and for new heavy gauge bosons, in decays to Z or W boson and light Higgs boson. I am currently searching for a heavy charged Higgs bosons in decays to a W boson and a Higgs boson. In ATLAS Run-3, I am preparing the first W/Z cross section measurement on the 2022 data set and I am preparing for measure the Yukawa coupling of the Higgs boson to second-generation fermions, in the di-muon decay mode.TeachingUG teaching: 2008-2016: Nuclear and Particle Physics (BSc/MSc, module-assistant) Physics of the Higgs boson (BSc/MSc, module organizer) Statistical data analysis (BSc/MSc, module organizer) Physics of the atom-shell (BSc, module-assistant) Physics laboratory (BSc, module-assistant) Electronics laboratory (BSc/MSc, module-assistant) Physics for chemists and engineers (BSc, module organizer) 2017/18: SPA4601 Professional Skills for Scientists (1st year, Semester A, modul co-organizer) SPA4321 Introduction to C++ (1st year, Semester B, modul organizer) SPA7029U/P Collider Physics (4th year, Semester B, deputy module organizer) 2018/19: SPA4601 Professional Skills for Scientists (1st year, Semester A, module co-organizer) SPA5201 Physics Laboratory (Semester B, module co-organizer) SPA7029U/P Collider Physics (4th year, Semester B, deputy module organizer) 2019/20: SPA4601 Professional Skills for Scientists (1st year, Semester A, module organizer) SPA6306 Elementary Particle Physics (3rd year, Semester A, module organizer) SPA7029U/P Collider Physics (4th year, Semester B, deputy module organizer) 2020/21: SPA6306 Elementary Particle Physics (3rd year, Semester B, module organizer) SPA4122 Mathematical techniques II (1st year, Semester B, module-assistant) 2021/22: SPA6306 Elementary Particle Physics (3rd year, Semester B, module organizer) SPA5201 Physics Laboratory (Semester B, module-assistant) SPA6403 Statistical Physics (SemesterB, module-assistant) 2022/23 SPA6328 Statistical Data Analysis (3rd year, Semester A, module organizer) SPA6306 Elementary Particle Physics (3rd year, Semester B, module organizer) Teaching development: From 2008-2016, I have developed the lecture Physics of the Higgs boson and introduced two new experiments in the advanced laboratory course.

By recreating conditions of the early universe in powerful synchrotrons like the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), we aim to improve our understanding of the various forces with the hope to eventually be able to describe them in a unified theory. The precision of the theoretical description of interactions in high-energy collisions has increased dramatically over the past years, prompting us to test them at a high precision level, with the option to find signs for new physics in deviations from the current models. In the ATLAS experiment, I have been investigating in particular the Strong Force by measuring processes where jets of hadrons are produced in association with the massive carriers of the weak force (JHEP 07 (2013) 032 Eur. Phys. J. C77 (2017) 361). Currently, I am focusing on two challenging classes of these interactions: Processes with a Z boson and bottom or charm quarks in the final state and processes where a collinear Z boson is radiated by a high-energetic quark in the final state. Both processes can mimic important new physics interactions, and must hence be modelled with high precision. In our Standard Model, the breaking of Electroweak symmetry by the Higgs field leads to massive force carriers and at least one Higgs boson, which was discovered at the LHC in 2012. I have contributed heavily to establish the Yukawa coupling of the Higgs to fermions, which is crucial to generate the fermion masses (JHEP 04 (2015) 117plain Models which go beyond that and predict two Higgs doublets (2HDM) with five massive Higgs bosons, could help understand why we have more matter than anti-matter in our universe. In such a model, a heavy new Higgs boson could be produced at the LHC and decay into the light Higgs and a Z boson. I am searching for such processes in final states with leptons and b-quarks.PublicationsSelected publications: ALEPH experiment: A.
