Current Research

As a member of the CMS experiment, I am very excited about the search for new physics phenomena at the Large Hadron Collider. I am involved with the CMS High Level Trigger, which is responsible for select small fraction of data we expect to be most interesting and save it for later analysis by the collaboration. Recently I have been searching for heavy right-handed W bosons and heavy neutrinos that would appear naturally through an extension to the Standard Model that includes left-right symmetry in Weak interactions.
