Karolos Potamianos is an Associate Professor at the University of Warwick and a STFC Ernest Rutherford Fellow in the Experimental Particle Physics group, specializing in LHC physics using the ATLAS detector. His research primarily investigates the foundations of the Standard Model of particle physics, focusing on the mechanism of Electroweak Symmetry Breaking and the role of the Higgs boson in imparting mass to fundamental particles. By analyzing data collected from the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), he studies vector boson scattering, probing the electric charge interactions of W bosons. The process he examines is rare and was crucially observed using the LHC Run-2 data in 2018. His current research objectives include identifying innovative methods for measuring the polarization of W bosons to more accurately determine the production rates of longitudinally polarized W bosons, which are directly associated with Electroweak Symmetry Breaking. This intricate area of study involves developing novel silicon detectors to enhance the precision of future collider experiments, focusing on ultra-fast detection capabilities. His commitment to advancing the field necessitates extensive research and development efforts to address emerging challenges.
