Will Shepherd

Will Shepherd is a researcher affiliated with the Department of Physics at Sam Houston State University. His work focuses on three primary areas: (1) analyzing particle physics data through a model-independent lens using Effective Field Theory, (2) developing novel search techniques for new phenomena at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and (3) investigating dark matter through experimental collaborations and leadership in the LHC Dark Matter Working Group.

• Research spans Standard Model validation, new physics detection, and dark matter cosmology
• Collaborates with LHC experiments to optimize data interpretation
• Specializes in bridging theoretical frameworks with empirical measurements
