  Professional Background

I am an experimental particle physicist currently working in the CMS experiment, which is one of the 4 large experiments currently underway at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN). My research is primarily focussed on Higgs boson physics with special emphasis on Higgs decays involving hadronically decaying tau leptons. I did my M.Sc in Physics from I.I.T Delhi and Ph.D from Tata Institute Of Fundamental Research, Mumbai. I was a post-doctoral fellow in the Lab of High Energy and Computational Physics at the National Institute of Chemical Physics  and Bio-Physics (KBFI), Tallinn, Estonia.

  3. Obtained All India Rank 32 at the National Eligibility Test (NET) in Physical Sciences with the award of Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) by the Council of Science and Industrial Resarch (CSIR) in 2009. 
  4. Won Gold Medal at the National Graduate Physics Exam (NGPE-2008) conducted by the Indian Association of Physics teachers (IAPT).
  5. Won the Delhi University All India Entrance Scholarship and held it for the full duration (3 years) of undergraduate studies.
  Publications
 

The publication policy of particle physics experiments demand that they list all collaboration members as authors (in all publications) in strict alphabetical order. This reflects the acknowledgement of the considerable efforts from all collaborators in the detector construction, maintenance, data-acquisition, data-reconstruction and detector calibration which are pre-requisites to all data analyses. As a member of the CMS collaboration, I have authored more than 900 peer-reviewed journal publications. The total number of my citable papers (for the period, Jan. 2014-till today) are given at the Inspire-HEP link here:
