Biography

Elliot Lipeles is a Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Pennsylvania. His research focuses on essential questions in particle physics, such as the stabilization of the Higgs mass and the nature of dark matter through the Higgs portal. He is a key member of the ATLAS collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and played a significant role in the 2012 discovery of the Higgs boson. Lipeles investigates the theoretical implications of the Higgs boson discovery, particularly related to dark matter and new physics at high energy scales. His work involves direct searches for new particles in the context of supersymmetry (SUSY) and other theories, addressing fundamental issues like the Higgs mass puzzle. As an engaged researcher, he collaborates internationally and contributes to the broader understanding of the universe's structure at the smallest scales.
