About Dilani
Dilani is completing a PhD in theoretical physics at Harvard University, USA. Dilani’s area of interest is theoretical particle physics, and she works with eminent particle physicist Lisa Randall on projects associated with the Large Hadron Collider and the newly discovered Higgs boson. She has published three papers in the Journal of High Energy Physics on topics ranging from hypothetical Supersymmetric particles called R-hadrons, to searching for anomalous signals of new physics at the Large Hadron Collider. She is currently developing better numerical algorithms to enhance scientists’ ability to discover and refine new particle physics signals, with a particular focus on narrowing down the properties of the Higgs boson.
