Profile photo 
Upload your profile photo in Subscribe (opens in a new tab). Your profile photo in Pure is not linked to your public staff profile. Choose a clear, recent headshot where you are easily recognisable. Your image should be at least 340 by 395 pixels. 

Name 
To change your name or prefix title contact Ask HR (opens in new tab)  If you want to update an academic title you'll need to provide evidence e.g. a PhD certificate. The way your name is displayed is automatic and cannot be changed. You can also update your post-nominal letters in Subscribe (opens in a new tab).

Job title 
Raise a request through ServiceNow (opens in a new tab) to change your job title (40 characters maximum) unless you're on the ERE career pathway. If you're on the ERE path you can not change your main job title, but you can request other minor updates through Ask HR (opens in new tab). If you have more than one post only your main job title will display here, but you can add further posts or roles in other sections of your profile.

Research interests (for researchers only)

About

My research focuses on the theory and phenomenology of elementary particle physics and cosmology beyond the Standard Model, including supersymmetry, extra dimensions, and technicolor, along with their connections to Dark Matter.

See the list of my publications: theoretical papers and experimental papers.

Additionally, see a list of some available projects for PhD students.

For more details, please visit my personal website.

Building on my previous studies of various supersymmetric models, I have expanded my exploration to other theories that explain Dark Matter phenomena, including extra-dimensional theories and those involving dynamical symmetry breaking, such as Technicolor. I am also leading a project that connects collider and cosmological exploration of various Dark Matter models, which I believe will establish a solid foundation for uncovering the underlying theory.

In 2021, I co-authored The Basics of Nuclear and Particle Physics  with Prof. Douglas Ross, a textbook aimed at advancing students' knowledge of nuclear and particle physics for third- and fourth-year undergraduate students.

A few additional details about my background.

I has been working in close contact with experimental collaborations: I am the former member of DØ collaboration at  Fermilab (1996-2004) and presently I am the full member of the CMS collaboration at CERN since 2007.

I am one of three developers of the CalcHEP package which was created  to enable one to go directly from the Lagrangian to the cross sections and distributions effectively, with a high level of automation. The package can be compiled on any Unix platform.

In 2011 I have pioneered High Energy Physics Model Database (HEPMDB) project which was created to facilitate connection between High Energy theory and experiment, and it is a tool to store and validate theoretical models. The goal is to provide a dictionary of model signatures, cutting down calculation times thus enhancing productivity within the field of Particle Physics.

Its goal is to create a dictionary of model signatures, significantly reducing calculation times and enhancing productivity within particle physics.

 

You can update this in Pure (opens in a new tab). Select ‘Edit profile’. Under the heading and then ‘Curriculum and research description’, select ‘Add profile information’. In the dropdown menu, select - ‘About’.

Write about yourself in the third person. Aim for 100 to 150 words covering the main points about who you are and what you currently do. Clear, simple language is best. You can include specialist or technical terms.

You’ll be able to add details about your research, publications, career and academic history to other sections of your staff profile.
