Anwar A Bhatti

Anwar A Bhatti is a Research Professor in the Physics Department at the University of Maryland, College Park. His primary research focuses on fundamental particle physics, particularly the search for dark matter and supersymmetry using experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) CMS collaboration and the LZ Dark Matter Experiment. He has contributed to the discovery of the Higgs boson and the top quark, and managed DOE-funded programs in dark matter research, including experiments like ADMX and PICO-60. His work also involves detector development for projects such as LUX-ZEPLIN, focusing on liquid xenon technology to detect weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). He has held roles in program management at the U.S. Department of Energy's High Energy Physics office, overseeing major international collaborations. Bhatti teaches introductory physics laboratory courses, including Physics 174, 107, and 275, emphasizing experimental techniques and data analysis for undergraduates.

• Affiliations: CMS Collaboration (LHC), LUX-ZEPLIN Experiment, CDF Collaboration (Fermilab)
• Research Projects: Supersymmetry searches, Dark Matter detection via LZ, Cosmic Frontier programs

His research interests span particle physics fundamentals, detector technology, and the intersection of physics with medical applications, such as postoperative complication modeling. Bhatti's contributions include advancing understanding of the Standard Model's limitations and exploring new physics beyond it through experimental and theoretical approaches.
