Ulrik Egede

Ulrik Egede is a Professor at the School of Physics and Astronomy, Monash University. He specializes in experimental high-energy physics, particularly in searches for phenomena beyond the Standard Model and applications of artificial intelligence in particle physics analysis. His research focuses on electroweak penguin decays, detector development for the LHCb experiment, and flavor tagging at electron-positron colliders.

Education: PhD in Experimental High Energy Physics from Lund University (1998), focusing on Higgs boson searches at the LHC and electron identification using transition radiation in the ATLAS tracker. Professional history includes senior roles at Imperial College London (2000–2019) and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (1998–2000).

Research Interests:

• Search for new physics in B-meson decays
• Machine learning for real-time data processing
• Detector upgrades for future colliders
• Applications of Cherenkov light detection

Grant Activities: Chief Investigator in projects such as the Enabling the Future of the Australian Collider Physics Program (2023–2025) and Search for Physics Beyond the Standard Model in Penguin Decays (2021–2025).

Labs/Teams: Active in the LHCb collaboration at CERN and the CEPC Study Group, contributing to accelerator optimization and detector design.
