Giulio Usai

Giulio Usai is an Assistant Professor of Research at the Department of Physics, The University of Texas at Arlington. He is actively involved in high-energy physics experiments, particularly with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

• Federal Flow Through grants (2017–2022) for ATLAS operations and computing infrastructure
• Collaborator on multiple NSF-sponsored projects totaling over $7.9 million

Research Interests

His research focuses on:

• High-energy particle collisions and detector development
• Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and Higgs boson properties
• Heavy-ion collisions and quark-gluon plasma studies
• Searches for new physics beyond the Standard Model
• Instrumentation for precision particle tracking

Recent work includes studies on:

• Jet observables and fragmentation mechanisms
• Bose-Einstein correlations and flow dynamics
• Development of solid-state active-target detectors
• Searches for long-lived particles and dark matter candidates
