Biography

Hannsjörg Weber is an Assistant Research Professor in the Department of Physics at Cornell University. His research specializes in Experimental Elementary Particle Physics, focusing on collider physics and detector R&D. He has been actively involved in studying particle collisions with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which enables exploration of matter states that existed shortly after the Big Bang. His work has contributed to understanding how elementary particles acquire mass, particularly through findings related to the Higgs boson. He is currently engaged in analyzing data from the CMS experiment at the LHC, with a view to answering fundamental questions about the universe, including the apparent imbalance of matter and antimatter. Weber is also involved in the construction of upgraded tracking detectors that utilize advanced monolithic silicon sensor technologies to meet the high demands of future collider experiments.
