Professional Experiences
2004-Present: Postdoctoral research associate at [major research university]
Proposed and constructed extensions to the Standard Model of particle physics to fit to a very large set of experimental data, using linear regression
Used maximum likelihood method to constrain parameters of a new force carrier
Numerically solved correlated second order differential equations for renormalization flows to explain the convergence of three gauge interactions
Calculated resonance production cross sections of the Majorana neutrinos with Importance Sampling Monte Carlo integration
Conjectured a new weakly interacting particle to explain an anomaly in experimental data and suggested new processes to test the conjecture
2001-2004: Postdoctoral research associate at the Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, IL
Performed a state of the art high order calculation of the production probability of a supersymmetric (SUSY) particle. Combined both analytical and numerical evaluations to achieve singularity cancellation and integrated over multi-dimensional phase space using Monte Carlo
Proposed new ways of breaking large Lie groups in higher space dimensional models and constructed the first dynamical breaking of SO(10) group via deconstruction
Designed the best way to determine one of the most important SUSY parameters with different experimental input
1997-2001: Research assistant at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI
Led several projects in calculating production probabilities of Higgs boson and SUSY particles
Wrote the standard reference in determining the SUSY charge and parity violating phase through electric dipole moments. Sampling of up to 26 dimensional parameter space was done using Monte Carlo simulation
Solved Einstein’s equation in high dimensional Anti de Sitter space
