Nikolas Kauer

Nikolas Kauer is a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Physics, Royal Holloway, University of London. His research focuses on theoretical particle physics, particularly computations and simulations for high-energy scattering processes, Large Hadron Collider (LHC) phenomenology, and searches for physics beyond the Standard Model. He has contributed extensively to studies involving Higgs boson interactions, off-shell effects, and jet veto techniques in BSM scenarios.

• Key affiliations: Theoretical Particle Physics Centre for Particle Physics and Astronomy.
• Active collaborations: STFC-funded projects with institutions like Sussex and UCL (2017–2020), CERN.

Research Highlights: Advanced simulations for LHC data analysis, Higgs interference effects, and effective field theories. His work bridges theoretical models with experimental validation at colliders.

Teaching Contributions: Offers courses in Advanced Classical Physics (PH3130), Further Mathematical Methods (PH3150), and C++ programming (PH3170) at Royal Holloway. Also lectures on Hadron Collider Physics at the NExT Graduate School.

Grants & Projects: Principal Investigator (PI) for multiple STFC-funded projects, including the South-Eastern Particle Theory Alliance (2017–2021) and Theoretical Particle Physics Consortium (2014–2017). Collaborated on equipment grants and PhD training initiatives.

Professional Activities: Regular invited speaker at international conferences and workshops, including CERN’s LHC Higgs Cross Section Working Group (2019), and contributor to major reports like the Handbook of LHC Higgs Cross Sections.
