Prof. Feld studied physics at the University of Bonn, earning his diploma in 1993 and doctorate in 1996 with research on the ZEUS experiment at DESY. He completed his habilitation in 2002 at the University of Freiburg, where he served as a scientific assistant and private lecturer before joining RWTH Aachen.

His research focuses on experimental high-energy physics, particularly the search for physics beyond the Standard Model such as supersymmetry, and the development of advanced silicon detector systems for the CMS experiment. He has led major upgrades of the CMS pixel and tracking detectors, including novel DC-DC power systems and thermal simulations for future high-luminosity phases. His work combines cutting-edge instrumentation with deep data analysis to probe fundamental questions in particle physics.
The 15 most recent publications reflect a strong trend in both experimental data analysis (especially supersymmetry searches using dilepton and diphoton signatures) and innovative detector development (silicon trackers, power systems, thermal design). Keywords span high-energy physics, instrumentation, and data analysis, with subfields including jet physics, photoproduction, radiation-hard detectors, and LHC upgrades. The articles show a consistent focus on CMS-related projects, from early ZEUS work to current HL-LHC developments.
Prof. Feld has received recognition for his teaching and leadership:
- Teaching Award of the Physics Department (2013)
- Spokesperson of the Physics Department (2008–2010)
- Chair of CMS Tracker Institution Boards (2014–2017)
- Spokesperson of BMBF FSP-104 (2018–2021)
- Chairman of the Committee for Elementary Particle Physics (since 2021)
He has supervised numerous bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral students, many of whom are listed as current or former members of his research group. His research is supported by major grants from DFG, BMBF, HGF, and EU, including the DFG Research Training Group 'Physics of the Heaviest Particles at the LHC' and BMBF programs FSP-102 and FSP-104. He has also contributed to public outreach through lectures, children’s university events, and virtual CMS visits.
Prof. Feld leads a vibrant research group at RWTH Aachen, actively involved in detector construction (e.g., TEC+ endcap), data analysis (searching for new physics), and future upgrades for the CMS experiment. The group participates in national collaborations such as the Helmholtz Alliance 'Physics at the Terascale' and organizes key conferences like TEWPP and DCMS-FSP meetings.
