Professor Herwig's research centers on experimental particle physics, with a focus on dark matter and electroweak symmetry breaking. He is involved in the ATLAS experiment at the CERN LHC and is developing the Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) at SLAC. His work includes the development of trigger systems using real-time data analysis and custom electronics for rare event searches, particularly those involving long-lived particles and low-momentum signatures.
His recent publications (2018-2023) span topics in particle physics, dark matter searches, and machine learning applications in accelerator physics. A notable trend is the integration of advanced computing techniques, such as real-time AI and neural networks, to enhance data acquisition and analysis in high-energy physics experiments. His work addresses key questions in beyond-standard-model physics, including supersymmetry and dark matter detection.
He is a collaborator on the ATLAS Experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider and is working to construct the Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) at SLAC. His work involves the development of trigger systems and detector electronics for these experiments.
