I am a physicist working at the CMS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. My research is centered in the experimental study of hadron collisions at the highest energies available. My work involves the development of semiconductor detectors that precisely track the passage of charged particles and the elucidation of the characteristics of the production processes of top quarks and searches for new physics that decay preferentially to top quarks. Lately, I am focusing on top quark pairs that are produced with large Lorentz Boost (boosted tops), using them both as probes for new physics, but also focusing on precisely understanding their properties.
