Benjamin Radburn-Smith

Purdue University, U.S.A.

Benjamin Radburn-Smith has recently joined Purdue University as a Postdoctoral Research Associate. Benjamin studied for his PhD in the U.K. jointly with the University of Manchester’s Particle Physics Group and the STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory’s Particle Physics Department, where he was based. He joined the RAL CMS group and has been a member of the experiment since 2009. For his research, Benjamin studied multivariate visualisation techniques which can be used in conjunction with a physics analysis. The visualisations of greatest interest include parallel coordinates and the grand tour. He is interested in physics beyond the Standard Model and works within the CMS Exotica group. He recently investigated collimated groups of leptons called Lepton Jets, which are possible signatures of new physics.
