About
Rauha maailmalle! -- Peace for the world! (yes, it's cheesy)
Hi! I am Ben, I am a particle physicist working with the ATLAS experiment at the LHC at CERN. After earning a Master's degree from the University of Göttingn, I became a Ph.D. studen at DESY Zeuthen near to Berlin with Priscilla Pani. I am just about to finish my Ph.D.In my Ph.D., I searched for Dark Matter particles in a final state involving a top-quark and a W-boson. Searching for the tW+DM signature was motivated by the 2HDM+a model, which extends the Standard Model Higgs boson sector by a second Higgs doublet. I am also working on the upgrade of the ATLAS strip tracking system (specifically ITk Strips). Finally, I am interested in sustainability and particle physics. I did Mathematical Physics in my undergraduate Physics, writing my Bachelor's thesis about the infinite spin representation of the Poincare group. Half way through my Master's degree, I decided to switch to experimental Physics. Finally, my Master's thesis was about the recommissioning of the ATLAS DBM, a luminosity and beam background diamond detector at the ATLAS experiment. I was a summer student at DESY Hamburg in 2015 (FLC) and at CERN (ALPIDE / ALICE) in 2016. The first year of my Master's I spent abroad in Helsinki, Finland, at Helsingin yliopisto -- The University of Helsinki, where I had a remarkable time and met many very wonderful people!
I also did a Bachelor's in mathematics. My Bachelor's thesis there was about a comparison of two discretised Laplace Operators: One by the Virtual Element Method and one by a geometric method employing methods from differential geometry.
In my free time I play the french horn and the drums, enjoy a climb and love listening to electronic music. I am a passionate dancer and enjoy discussion politics and society with my friends.
I hope you enjoy your stay on my website. You can find some of my projects, some pictures from Helsinki, Hamburg, Berlin and some other places below. :)
