Dr. Andrey Golutvin

Biography

Andrey Golutvin's research is primarily focused on searches for new fundamental particles that are weakly interacting. Motivated by the lack of evidence for new heavy particles, he proposed the Search for Hidden Particles (SHiP) experiment in 2013, which is currently his main research activity. Golutvin has been involved in various high-energy physics experiments, notably serving as a spokesperson for the LHCb experiment from 2008-2011 and leading the LHCb calorimeter project from 1998-2008. His work has been pivotal in addressing significant issues in particle physics, such as searching for a wide range of light weakly interacting particles. These particles could potentially solve major problems in the field, including explaining the matter-antimatter asymmetry observed in the universe and the patterns of neutrino masses and mixing. Golutvin's proposals have significantly impacted the particle physics community, exemplified by SHiP's growth from 16 authors to 250 across 33 institutes and 16 countries. He has led the design and technical proposals for the experiment, which received approval from CERN's scientific committees. Additionally, he has contributed to rare decay analyses and applied machine learning methodologies in his work, demonstrating a comprehensive approach to tackling complex problems in particle physics. Golutvin has also advised international laboratories on scientific policy.
