I am currently a PhD student in the experimental particle physics group at the University of Bergen. So far my main focus has been on preparing analysis tools for the search for Supersymmetry in the ATLAS detector at the LHC. By analysing Monte Carlo simulated data the aim is develop methods to suppress background from well known Standard Model physics scenarios to enable discovery of new physics, such as Supersymmetry, occurring with a much lower probability in the experiment.
