Research Direction
My research focuses on the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), including Higgs physics and the development of novel picosecond-level ultra-fast timing detectors, specifically the CMS MIP Timing Detector (MTD).
I am currently recruiting students and postdoctoral researchers (https://inspirehep.net/jobs/2777393). Interested candidates are welcome to contact me.
