Introduction:

I come from France. I studied for my Master Degree in Particle Physics at the University Blaise Pascal in Clermont-Ferrand. During this Master I had the opportunity to join the local ATLAS group for two internships, respectively dealing with supersymmetry and dark matter searches. I am currently working in Freiburg for my PhD, under the supervision of Professor Karl Jakobs. Being part of the HiggsTools Network is a great opportunity for me to cooperate with other physics students working all over Europe, and thereby broadening my knowledge of particle physics, and improving my own PhD work.
