Born in 1970 in Terrassa (Barcelona). Graduated in physics in 1993 at the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona (UAB). Obtained Ph. D. in experimental particle physics in 1998 at the Institut de Fisica d’Altes Energies (IFAE) at the UAB, studying electron-positron collisions in the ALEPH experiment at the LEP Collider at CERN. Moved to Chicago (USA) in 1998, to study proton-antiproton collisions at the energy frontier in the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider, first as a Research Associate (1998-2002), then as a Wilson Fellow (tenure-track position, 2002-2006) and eventually as staff scientist (2006-2009). At D0 held a number of leadership positions in physics (convener of Top and Higgs groups), algorithms (convener of Jet Energy Scale and Jet Energy Resolution groups) and upper management (physics coordinator). Since November 2009, ICREA Research Professor at IFAE, working at the D0 experiment at Fermilab and the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN.

Research Interests
|
|
|
My research is focused on accelerator-based experimental particle physics, aiming at achieving an understanding on how Nature operates at the most fundamental level. In particular, unraveling the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking and mass generation, as well as searching for new physics phenomena, are the main goals of my research. At the Tevatron and the LHC I am carrying out studies on the heaviest known elementary particle, the top quark, as well as searching for the Higgs boson and other new phenomena such as exotic heavy quarks or top quark compositeness.
