About Me

I am a Particle Physics PhD student at the University of Liverpool working on the ATLAS experiment based at CERN.

My main thesis involves a search for Leptoquarks (LQs) — hypothetical Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) particles motivated by the desire to explain underlying symmetries in the Standard Model (SM). There are several experimental motivations for such searches, including flavour physics anomalies observed by LHCb, BaBar, and Belle, as well as potential explanations for the muon g−2 anomaly and neutrino mass generation. The analysis aims to exploit the larger Run III dataset, the higher centre-of-mass energy (CoM), and the improved flavour and tau tagging algorithms, along with a dedicated phase-space search strategy, to enhance the sensitivity and extend the current exclusion limits.

In parallel, as part of the authorship qualification project at ATLAS, I have been working on Tau identification algorithms, focusing particularly on validating and improving the performance of Graph Neural Network (GNN)–based approaches. These algorithms are being developed to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of identifying hadronically decaying tau leptons.
