What I work on

ATLAS analyses with a clear through-line: precision heavy flavour, multiple-Higgs, and heavy neutral leptons — using careful statistics and modern AI methods where they sharpen the limit.

Focus now · HNLs & multi-Higgs

Central goals are HNL searches aimed at strong TeV-scale limits, and di-Higgs / tri-Higgs work that probes the Higgs potential and the stability of the universe — with room for students on AI usage in HEP and statistical analysis, methods that transfer across analyses, not only one final plot.

01 · Charm

D / Ds production

Big picture: precision charm production that tests the strong force (QCD) and feeds rare-decay searches.

Differential cross sections for D± and Ds± in 13 TeV pp collisions. Led the analysis end-to-end as analysis contact and editor.

02 · Multiple-Higgs

Di-Higgs & tri-Higgs

Big picture: the shape of the Higgs potential sets whether the vacuum we live in is stable. Di-Higgs and tri-Higgs rates are how we measure that shape.

Early exploration and workflow design for multi-Higgs production. Earlier: MPhil thesis research on the CP properties of Higgs–τ interactions.

03 · HNLs

Heavy Majorana neutrinos

Big picture: a leading idea for how neutrinos get mass, tied to models of the early universe.

Searches in vector-boson scattering with τ-lepton final states. Role: coordination, workflow design, software framework, computing, and system building.
