Dr. Keith Baker

Biography

Professor Baker’s research focuses on experimental particle physics, particularly at the energy frontier with the Large Hadron Collider and the ATLAS collaboration. He conducts precision studies at sub-eV energies, contributing to topics such as quantum information science in high-energy physics, electroweak symmetry breaking, and searches for phenomena predicted by the standard model. His work includes the construction of detectors and carrying out machine learning analyses that contributed to the discovery of the Higgs boson. He originated and co-pioneered searches for signals of dark sector phenomena and exotic Higgs boson decays, including those involving four leptons. Furthermore, his contributions to quantum information science, including studies on quantum entanglement and entropy in proton-proton collision data, have positioned him as a leading figure in the field.
