Research Overview
My research is driven by fundamental questions in high-energy physics:
the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking, the search for physics
beyond the Standard Model, and the extraction of maximal information
from collider data.
To address these questions, I develop machine-learning methods that improve
the precision, computational efficiency, and robustness of collider analyses,
with applications to jet physics, collider phenomenology, simulation-based
inference, and generative models for fast event generation.
Research Directions
Systematics-aware collider inference
I work on machine-learning-based statistical inference methods for collider
physics, including both binned and unbinned analyses. My focus is on
simulation-based inference and likelihood-based measurements that incorporate
systematic uncertainties directly into the inference procedure, enabling more
robust use of high-dimensional collider observables.
Machine learning for jet physics
I develop neural architectures and physics-motivated representation-learning
methods for jet tagging, quark/gluon discrimination, boosted-object
identification, and jet-substructure studies. This includes working with
diverse jet representations such as high-level physics-inspired features, jet
images, point clouds, graph-based inputs, and sequence-based architectures.
Efficient machine learning for particle physics
I am interested in the limits of compact and low-precision neural
networks for high-energy physics analyses, including how far model
compression can be pushed without losing physics performance.
Collider phenomenology and new physics searches
I study collider signatures of physics beyond the Standard Model,
including extended Higgs sectors, axion-like particles, dark-sector
candidates, and machine-learning-assisted search strategies at the LHC
and future colliders.
