Research interests:

• Higgs production (rare production modes; tH in diphoton decay channel)
• Top quark properties and production (hadronic and photoproduction)
• Particle correlations in small systems (photon-proton, pomeron-lead ..)
• Luminometers performance in high pileup environment
• Scouting data for luminosity measurements
• Muon devices for luminosity measurements
