Yurii Maravin

Yurii Maravin is a Professor in the Department of Physics at Kansas State University, where he leads experimental high energy physics research focused on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the CMS detector. His work centers on studying the Higgs boson's properties, searching for new physics beyond the Standard Model, and advancing detector technology for future collider experiments. He holds a Ph.D. from Southern Methodist University (2002) and has been actively involved in CMS hardware operations and upgrades.

Research interests include Higgs boson couplings to gauge bosons and fermions, dark matter puzzles, and LHC collision data analysis. His group co-leads the CMS HCAL Calibration team and is developing ultra-fast timing detectors for Phase II LHC upgrades. Recent research has explored chargino-neutralino production, diboson production cross sections, and quartic gauge couplings constraints.

Collaborations include the CMS Collaboration and the U.S. LHC Physics Center. Current advising includes PhD student James Natoli. No major scientific awards are noted, but contributions to LHC detector technology and Higgs physics are central to his work.
