Elin Bergeås Kuutmann is an experimental particle physicist and a member of the ATLAS experiment at CERN since 2004. Her research focuses on the heaviest known elementary particle, the top quark, and its connection to Higgs particles. Currently, she is investigating the existence of vector-like quarks which may indicate the presence of Higgs bosons as elementary particles. Kuutmann has held various academic positions, including DESY fellow and post-doctoral researcher at Humboldt University in Berlin. She became an Associate Senior Lecturer at Uppsala University in 2014, was appointed as Docent in particle physics in 2019, and became a Senior Lecturer the same year. Kuutmann has received the distinction of Distinguished University Teacher, awarded in 2024. She aims to impart solid foundations in physics through her role as a course director for the introductory mechanics course, emphasizing the fundamental principles of mechanics in the education of her students.
