Higgs self‑coupling • Higgs–charm • Jet‑charge • HGCAL/ECON • ML for HEP

Postdoc at Brown University with the CMS experiment. I work on HH and HHH searches, Higgs–charm coupling, charge‑aware and flavour tagging, HGCAL/ECON developments, and triggers for Run 3.

Research focus

Higgs

Self‑interaction measurements (HH/HHH)

Searches in heavy‑flavor final states across resolved→boosted regimes.

Couplings

Higgs–charm coupling

Experiment‑driven strategies and reconstruction to probe H→c and related signatures.

Tagging

Jet‑charge & heavy‑flavor

Charge‑aware and flavour tagging to reduce combinatorics and strengthen rare‑process sensitivity.

Detector

HGCAL & ECON (ASIC)

Development and testing for CMS Phase‑2 high‑granularity calorimetry readout.

ML

Transformer‑based reconstruction

Generalized SPA‑Net enabling unambiguous interpretation across topologies.

Trigger

Strategies for rare signals

Parking and b‑tag triggers to expand accessible phase space in Run‑3 → HL‑LHC.
