For my PhD thesis I am working on Beyond the Standard Model physics at the ATLAS detector. My first year involved feasability studies for ATLAS of narrow, well-separated graviton resonances which are possible in Randull-Sundrum models. I analysed the G->WW->lvjj and G->ZZ->lljj decays in a model-independant way. This also involved the use of Grid resources in generating background samples. This year I have been doing studying minature black holes using a full simulation of the ATLAS detector. I am also involved with the Semi-Conductor Tracker for which I have been writing calibration, data acquisition and monitoring software.

I am working on HARP, a fixed target hadroproduction experiment at CERN designed to measure pion production cross sections for 3-15GeV incident protons on various materials. My involvements include helping in the calibration of the RPCs, a time of flight detector with a precision of 150ps. I am also involved with NA49 to get similar measurements at 160 GeV. These measurements will eventually be input into cosmic shower monte carlos to estimate the atmostpheric neutrino flux.

For my Ph.D. study, I am interested for transition pseudoscalar form factors. I have constructed new model for determination of the neutral pion, eta and eta prime mesons transition form factors in both, space-like and time-like regions simultaneously and my task is to predict various psysical quantities to be measured in HERMES and WASA experiments, where the production of neutral pion and its decay into gamma and electron-positron pair are planned to be performed, respectively.

I am attending the second year of my Ph.D. and my research activity is mainly devoted to the realization and performance tests of a fully automatic microscope of new generation, able to scan large nuclear emulsion areas, with high speed and very good position resolution. The microscope is equipped with fast track recognition processors. This allows the measurement of both track momenta from their multiple scattering and electron and gamma energies from shower development.
This microscope will be used for research activities of the OPERA experiment. OPERA will use the technique of nuclear emulsion to search for the neutrino mu - neutrino tau oscillations in the appearance channel.
I also participate in the test beam activities aimed to understand the performance of the OPERA detector.

I am working on CMS one of the future experiments located at the LHC at CERN. One component of the central tracking system is a silicon strip detector on which I am working. The enormous size of this project requires a thoughtful quality management concerning the production of silicon strip modules which are the basic components of this detector. Thus I develop software for a compact read out system ARC,which was developed at my institute and is spread over the whole collaboration.

For my Ph. D. thesis I am working on GEM detectors for LHCb experiment. This detector has been developed in the framework of an R&D activity on detectors for the innemost parts (region 1) of the first muon station (M1) of LHCb experiment. In particular I study and analyze the performance of a triple-GEM detectors with several gas mixtures.

My thesis work relates to the study of the production and decay of microscopic black holes at LHC/ATLAS. Certain scenarios involving large extra dimensions suggest that the scale of quantum gravity might be in the order of the TeV-scale. Such scenarios predict the copious production of tiny black holes and their rapid Hawking decay into final states rendered clearly visible in detectors. My work involves the simulation of such black hole events to study aspects of the various decay phases and investigate the possibilities of discovering associated new physics within the framework of the ATLAS experiment at CERN.

For my physics degree thesis I worked in the Zeus Collaboration at the Hera ep collider at Desy. I performed an analysis based on the data taken between 1998 and 2000 in order to measure the cross section of the beauty production in semileptonic decay to muons in deep inelastic scattering. My analysis was developed in the laboratory frame and my measure is in good agreement with the result of the same analysis in the Breit frame.
I am now a Ph.D. student working on CDF, one the experiment currently operating at the ppbar collider at Fermilab.
My analysis work concerns the understanding of background for the Higgs production in strong interactions focusing on the gb->hb channel. The immediate aim of my work is to understand if there is a reliable possibility of identifying this kind of event in the course of run II.
