      My research is on the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Here we are aiming to answer some of the major unanswered questions of the universe such as what happened shortly after the big big, and why is there more matter than anti-matter? Day to day my work mainly involves being at my computer and doing computer coding and data analysis, in order to analyse the large amounts of data collected at the LHC. I also spend my time in meetings discussing my research, giving talks about my research and organising activities for early career scientists on my collaboration.
