Current Research and Scholarly Interests

Incorporating novel techniques from ML and AI, we're aiming to improve the performance of ATLAS, one of the four Particle Physics detectors on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). There is scope for improvement in both offline analysis of data, as well as the online processing of data in real time as the data is being collected.

We're also studying exotic decay modes of the Higgs boson to better understand its properties as well as uncover new Physics hidden in the myriad of final states.
