I am an experimental particle physicist. The experimental group at IISER, Pune (link) is a part of the CMS collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva. My primary research interests are the searches for particles not described by the standard model (SM). In the past I have worked at the ATLAS experiment at the LHC, and the CDF experiment at the Tevatron.
Primarily, I search for beyond standard model (BSM) phenomena in lepton final states. In Run 1 of the LHC, I worked on model-independent multilepton searches. The goal was to probe the multilepton parameter space for any departures from the SM. I also searched for microscopic blackhole production at the LHC in a dimuon final state - this was the only search with non-isolated and non-prompt muons.
In Run 2 of the LHC, I shifted focus to two specific BSM models: the type-III Seesaw model, and Vector-like leptons. Both of these generate
multilepton final states, and by the end of Run 2, my result had the best LHC constraints on both of these models. During this process (and Run 2)
I have also become interested in various multivariate algorithms and their applications in HEP. These include various types of neural
networks as well as dimensionality reduction algorithms.
