Biography

Harish Potti obtained an Integrated Master of Science degree in Applied Physics from the Indian Institute of Technology - IIT (ISM) Dhanbad in 2014, followed by a Doctor of Philosophy degree at the University of Texas at Austin. His doctoral dissertation involved analyzing rare Standard Model physics processes, particularly the associated production of a single top quark with a photon, which were observed during the run-2 data of the ATLAS experiment. After completing his Ph.D., he joined the University of Adelaide as a postdoctoral researcher, where he contributed to various physics analyses and was involved in the operations of the ATLAS experiment. In February 2024, he became a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Sydney, working with notable faculty members. His current research focuses on searching for heavy resonance events involving four top quarks using data from the full run-2 and partial run-3 pp collisions. Additionally, he plays a significant role in the ATLAS Exotics group and is involved in developing Machine Learning algorithms for particle identification and classification. Harish has experience supervising high school, undergraduate, master's, and Ph.D. students in various projects related to particle physics and the ATLAS experiment.
