Office: OC208

Tel:

I am an Associate Professor at IPPP Durham (joined November 2020) and a Royal Society University Research Fellow studying the Higgs sector at the precision frontier.

My research interests include:

  • Higher-order QCD and Electroweak Corrections
  • Standard Model Phenomenology (especially Higgs Boson related physics)
  • Collider Physics

I act as a theory convener for the LHC Higgs Working Group (WG1 ggF Subgroup).

I am responsible for organising the annual YETI PhD School @ IPPP Durham (2021/2022/2023/2024).
