Biography

Christian Ohm is an Associate Professor at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, specializing in experimental particle physics. His research primarily focuses on the smallest building blocks of matter and the fundamental forces that govern their interactions. He is particularly interested in addressing the shortcomings of the Standard Model of particle physics, including searches for particles associated with dark matter, which is believed to dominate the universe. His major research activities are linked with the ATLAS experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider, where he has held several significant responsibilities including serving on the Executive Board of the ATLAS Collaboration and coordinating multiple projects aimed at enhancing the precision of measurements and experimental capabilities. Ohm has been actively engaged in scientific scholarship and has served as a member of the Young Academy of Sweden and various committees within the Swedish Physical Society. He obtained his PhD from Stockholm University in 2011 and has a rich background in research positions, having worked extensively at CERN and Berkeley Lab. Ohm's research is supported by funding from the Swedish Research Council and he teaches several courses in Modern Physics and Project Engineering Physics at KTH.
