Description

A vast program of measurements of the strong coupling constant alpha_S is being undertaken by CMS. These measurements exploit several QCD dominated processes that are sensitive to alpha_S, and present different theoretical and experimental challenges. A review of the current public results and perspective is given.

PhD and fellowship at DESY with Hannes Jung
Post-doc in Institute for Experimental physics and Center for Data and Computing in natural Sciences at Uni Hamburg with Peter Schleper
Mainly active in jet measurements (key publication: inclusive jet measurement at 13 TeV; SMP HAD L3 since September 2022)
also major contributions in tracker detector performance group (in particular tracker alignment, with one reference paper for Run 2; TkAl convener from 2018 to 2020; TkDPG from 2021 to 2022)
