Spandan Mondal

Spandan Mondal is a postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Physics at Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island, USA. His work focuses on the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at CERN, studying elementary particle properties at high energy levels, including the search for Higgs boson decaying into charm quarks and development of related analytical tools. He also serves as convener of the B-Tagging and Vertexing (BTV) group within CMS.

• Education:
  • PhD in Experimental Particle Physics from RWTH Aachen University (2023)
  • MSc in Physics from Indian Institute of Science (2018)
  • BSc in Physics from Indian Institute of Science (2017)

His research spans high-energy physics, with a focus on particle decay analysis and collider experiments. Notable achievements include receiving the CMS Thesis Award 2023 for his doctoral work on charmed decays of Higgs, Z, and W bosons.

• Key Collaborations:
  • Working with Professor Ulrich Heintz (Brown University)
  • Collaborating with Assistant Professor Gaetano Barone (Brown University)
