Research Interests

Evidence of new physics in the Higgs and top quark: My primary interest is in the probe of Higgs and top couplings in the present as well as the upcoming colliders suitable for the precision measurements.
QCD phenomenology: I applied tranverse mass dependent (TMD) factorization to explain the QCD effects in the colliders.
Dark matter phenomenology: My most recent endeavour is in the search for dark matter in the collider environments. I intend to apply novel techniques to develop new search strategies. These techniques include Deep Learning, however it not solely dependent on it.
