Biography

Prof. Ashutosh Kotwal's research focuses on the fundamental particles and forces of high energies. His work on the discovery of the Higgs boson addressed a 50-year-old puzzle regarding how fundamental particles acquire mass. Despite the understanding of the properties of the Higgs boson, the process by which the Higgs field condenses space remains an active area of study. Prof. Kotwal is pursuing these questions experimentally through precision measurements of fundamental parameters and other innovative approaches. He is actively involved in various research projects and has published multiple significant studies, including work on the substructure-dependent suppression of large-radius jets and other crucial aspects of high energy physics.
