Anna Benecke
I specialize in pileup mitigation and jet reconstruction, with expertise in the PUPPI algorithm and jet calibration, particularly in the boosted regime. My research in CMS has focused on high-energy jets for new physics searches. I currently serve as co-convener of the CMS Jet and MET subgroup and received the 2023 CMS Award for key contributions to boosted object development and subgroup leadership. While I’ve worked extensively on searches in the boosted regime, I’m now applying these skills to top quark physics. I’m also dedicated to outreach, organizing Physics Project Days and contributing to the Women in Physics conference. As one of Belgium’s Early Career Representatives to ECFA, I help advocate for the next generation of physicists.

Agni Bethani
My research interests revolve around Higgs physics and searches for physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). I am an expert in searches for Higgs pair production at the LHC. I was a member of CMS during my PhD, and after 5 years in ATLAS I returned to CMS in July 2019. While in ATLAS I lead the HH->bbττ analysis. Currently, in CMS, I am working on the HH->bbWW channel. As we gather more data at the LHC and improve our analysis techniques, the sensitivity to the Higgs pair production increases. The HH decays studies can constrain several SM parameters, with the Higgs self-coupling being the most important one. Therefore I am interested in the Effective Field Theory interpretation of the HH results. In parallel, I am contributing the flavour-tagging group in CMS. I am also interested in science communication, outreach and the representation of women and minorities in science.

Hamid Basiri
I am working on developing a hybrid subsurface imaging framework that combines cosmic-ray muon imaging (muography) with seismic tomography to monitor geological CO₂ storage. By uniting muography’s direct sensitivity to density with seismic elastic properties in a single joint-inversion workflow, I target sharper estimates of CO₂ saturation and earlier detection of geomechanical change. My work spans detector benchmarking, Monte Carlo modeling, and lab-to-field experiments to quantify sensitivity and validate at the reservoir scale, aiming for a practical, non-invasive, continuous monitoring approach that also extends to broader georesource and hazard imaging.

Christopher Flett
My main activity at present is the implementation of quarkonium cross sections in the well-known event generator MadGraph5_aMC@NLO. The aim is to provide an efficient, all-encompassing tool that anyone can use to simulate quarkonium production at colliders and be versatile enough to handle final states with multiple quarkonium production in association with elementary particles. This will ultimately facilitate the first global NRQCD phenomenological analyses comparing theory and experiment, and enable sound physics-case constructions for current (LHC@CERN, Belle-II@KEK, RHIC@BNL,…) and future (EIC@BNL, FCC@CERN, …) experimental programs.
In addition, I work on exclusive heavy-quarkonium production, with a focus on applying this knowledge to the gluon parton distribution function at moderate-to-low momentum fractions and scales, as well as contributing to future global generalised parton distribution extractions.

Yang Ma
My main research interest lies in elementary particle physics theory, focusing on high-energy collider physics as well as connections to astro-particle physics and cosmology. While the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics provides a remarkably successful description of elementary matter and forces, it fails to address a number of outstanding conceptual and empirical mysteries, such as the naturalness of electroweak scale, the strong CP problem, the nature of dark matter (DM), and the origin of neutrino masses. Clearly the SM must be extended and become part of a deeper structure that will explain these shortcomings, with new physics beyond the SM expected to emerge at some high energy scale. I aim to test the SM itself and search for possible new physics at high-energy colliders such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and other future collider programs (ILC, CLIC, CEPC/SPPC, FCC-ee/hh, muon colliders, etc.)

By tackling evanescent operators, counter-terms, and implementing precise predictions in Monte Carlo tools, I work toward global SMEFT fits that reveal collider sensitivities and potential signs of new physics.
