For my Ph.D thesis I am working on CMS, one of two general purpose detectors build for LHC pp collider at CERN. I have started analysis of H->tau tau->mu+X channel in MSSM. As the detector in not built yet I am working on Monte Carlo simulated data. Also I am working on a developement of reconstruction software for CMS, and developement and implementation of simulation of Level 1 muon trigger based on RPC planes.

 My area of scientific interest is a development of a new particle detectors. Now I'm studying alignment of ME1/1 muon station of CMS detector which . This is the topic of my PhD thesis. I have already studied the performance of the chambers of ME1/1 station at their edge region, as it is important for good alignment.Now the alignment procedure and software (ORCA) are studied. Beside that I was involved in quality control of these chambers while their mass production. The ME1/1 station is important for high Pt muons reconstruction, which is vital for physics beyond standard model. After the CMS physics start I intend to participate in data analysis.

For my Ph.D. thesis I am working on CMS, one of the two largest detectors at LHC. My studies is concentrated on the physics of top-quarks production at LHC. I have perfomed the detailed analysis of ttbar simulation with different generators. It was shown that specialized generators like ALPGEN, CompHEP, HERWIG, TOPREX provide the possibility to correct generation of such processes.

I am working in the COMPASS collaboration, in the offline group and my Ph.D. thesis is related to the work in COMPASS which consists of data analysis, measurement of the spin dependent structure function g1 on deuteron in deep inelastic scattering which could give an opportunity to understand better the structure of the nucleon. This measurement will update the measurement performed erlier by SLAC, SMC and HERMES experiments, in the low x region with higher accuracy. I have also worked on COMPASS spectrometer and target while data taking in the 2002, 2003 runs.

 As a PhD student I started working at the D0 experiment in Fermilab participating in Top quark and Jet energy scale groups. Currently I am measuring the p_T balance in photon+jet events, thus testing jet energy scale corrections and estimating their systematical error, which has an important impact on measuring the top quark mass. In the near future, I am heading for a topic from the top quark physics, as my diploma was dedicated to modelling effects of finite top quark and W boson widths on the measurement of the top quark mass. I am interested in the ttbar production in perturbative QCD and top quark properties, especially top width.
