Research Description: I currently work on searches for high mass resonances which decay to top-antitop pairs in the ATLAS collaboration. I have contributed to analyses in the dilepton and boosted lepton+jets channels, with particular interest in leptonically-decaying tops. I am also heavily involved in physics feasibility studies for the phase II ATLAS upgrade.
