Postdoctoral Scholar, Particle Physics and Astrophysics, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioThe composition of the Universe and the interplay of its various forces and matter have always fascinated me. My journey into particle physics began when I joined the ATLAS Collaboration during master's. Since then, I have analyzed data from proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), where I've been looking for novel particles and deviations from theoretical predictions. At Stanford, I study the shape of the Higgs potential. I apply state-of-the-art machine learning techniques to measure the production of Higgs boson pairs using data from the ongoing LHC run and study if the shape of the Higgs potential differs considerably from that predicted by the Standard Model (SM). Furthermore, I work on the upgrade of the ATLAS inner-tracking detector for the future High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC), which will be crucial to study the Higgs potential if its shape aligns with the SM predictions.

Michael Peskin
Professor of Particle Physics and Astrophysics
BioI am a theoretical physicist interested in elementary particles and the fundamental interactions. My main research interests are:
* consequences of the "Standard Model of particle physics"
* precision study of the heaviest known elementary particles - the W and Z bosons, the top quark, and the Higgs boson - to search for clues to new fundamental interactions beyond the Standard Model
* models of such new interactions, especially models with composite or strongly interacting Higgs bosons
* models for the particle that composes the dark matter of the universe
I am the author of a leading theoretical textbook in this area, "An Introduction to Quantum Field Theory", with Daniel Schroeder. Recently, I have written another textbook that emphasizes our experimental knowledge, "Concepts of Elementary Particle Physics".
