Jag arbetar på ATLAS-gruppen, i avdelningen för Högenergifysik, på Institutionen för fysik och astronomi.

I am a physicist on the ATLAS collaboration at the LHC and previously worked on the CMS collaboration, with more than a decade of public-engagement experience. I have been involved in Higgs boson physics since the start of my PhD, covering the search for the Higgs boson in WW decays; all the way until the observation of ttH in 2018, being the Higgs to WW subgroup convener in CMS (2015-2016).

In 2011 I started studying the top quark, becoming the single top subgroup convener (2013-2014) after achieving the first observation of single top tW. I coordinated the whole Top Quark Physics Analysis Group in CMS from 2016 until 2018, when I left CMS to join the Uppsala ATLAS group after obtaining an individual starting grant from the Swedish Research Council (VR 2017-05092). While in CMS, I worked extensively in detector operation, in the DT Muon chambers, and the Silicon Strip Tracker.

From 2021 until 2023 I was the Outreach & Education coordinator in ATLAS. Before that I was involved in the Hardware Track Trigger (HTT) project for the Phase-II Upgrade.

Searching for a dark sector in final states with multiple top quarks in ATLAS (conference note public: ATLAS-CONF-2023-021), developing machine learning techniques for high energy physics, and exploring opportunities for new physics searches at future colliders are my top priorities. Concerning the later I convene both the “Direct discovery potential” working group (WG1-SRCH) of the ECFA Higgs Factory Study and the BSM Physics Performance group for the Future Circular Collider (FCC).

You can find a comprehensive list of my publications in INSPIRE

My ongoing lines of research are:

• New Physics searches at the LHC, HL-LHC, and Future e+e- colliders, in particular FCC
• Unconventional experimental signatures from hidden sectors connected to main physics questions (e.g. dark matter, neutrino masses): long-lived particles, dark showers
• Data Science methods for new physics searches, related to the previous points
• ATLAS service work in: Luminosity, Outreach, Software & Computing

I work with:

• Olga Sunneborn Gudnadottir
• Giulia Ripellino
• Axel Gallén

We are available for projects.
