The Beauty and the Boost: A Higgs Boson Tale

I am an experimental particle physicist currently working at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics, CERN. Originally from the city of Elzach in Germany, I studied physics at the University of Freiburg where I obtained both my bachelors and masters degree. During this time I came into contact with the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) through my thesis projects which I performed in the group of Prof. Dr. Karl Jakobs. After I spend the summer of 2016 at CERN as a summer student to work on beam test studies with silicon strip modules for the planned upgrade of the ATLAS detector, I made the decision to pursue a career in experimental high energy physics. For my Ph.D. I moved to the Dutch National Institute for Particle Physics (Nikhef), where I performed the work that is summarized in the proposed book under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Wouter Verkerke and Dr. Tristan du Pree. My Ph.D. was awarded with the highest 'cum laude' distinction in the Netherlands, and mythesis won the ATLAS thesis award in 2023. So far, my research was and is performed within the ATLAS collaboration and focuses on precise measurements of the Higgs boson, as well as on the upgrade of the ATLAS silicon tracking detector towards the High-Luminosity LHC.
