Research Interests span Experimental Particle Physics with a focus on Higgs boson studies, Dark Matter searches, Top Quark Physics, and quantum chromodynamics. She drives detector upgrade projects like the CASTOR calorimeter and beam condition monitoring systems at CMS and contributes to the University of Hamburg's 'Quantum Universe' Cluster of Excellence.
Recent Publications analyze inclusive jet production, charm baryon multiplicity, dimension-6 EFT operators, and detector upgrades. Her work connects collider physics with cosmological implications, particularly in future accelerator design.
Scientific Recognition:
