I am a theoretical physicist working at Fermilab. My current research interests are in the field of particle physics phenomenology. I am part of a global team for the construction of Monte Carlo event generators, computer simulations that allow to model proton collisions as recorded by the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Event generators are a cornerstone of the theoretical and experimental high-energy physics research program. They encapsulate the combined knowledge of several decades of experiment and theory. Their construction involves many different aspects and methods from most areas of particle phenomenology, see Phys.Rept.504(2011)145 for a review and arXiv:2203.11110 for a more recent update.
