I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Physics at Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island, USA. I am currently working on the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment, CERN, that investigates the properties of elementary particles at the highest achievable energy. In particular, my research is focused on the search for the Higgs boson decaying into charm quarks and the development of tools and methods that aid this search. Within CMS, I also serve as the convener of the B-Tagging and Vertexing (BTV) group.
I received my PhD in experimental particle physics from RWTH Aachen University, Germany. My doctoral thesis focused on searches for charmed decays of the Higgs, Z, and W bosons. I received the CMS PhD Thesis Award 2023 for my PhD thesis. I completed my Master's and Bachelor's degrees in Physics from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore. The topic of my Master's thesis was the search for dark matter produced in association with bottom quarks in proton-proton collisions at the LHC.
