Lesya Shchutska is an Assistant Professor in Experimental Particle Physics at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). Her research focuses on exploring the boundaries of the Standard Model of particle physics by searching for new phenomena to explain unresolved puzzles in the fundamental description of the universe, such as the nature of dark matter and matter-antimatter asymmetry. Shchutska's work involves significant contributions to the LHCb collaboration, where she conducts searches for heavy neutral leptons and analyzes data from proton-proton collisions at CERN. She has been an active member of several international collaborations, driving forward research with a particular emphasis on novel detection strategies and future collider experiments. With a solid academic foundation, she completed her PhD in experimental particle physics at EPFL and has also worked as a senior research associate at ETH Zürich. Her contributions to the field have been recognized through numerous awards, including the Swiss Science Prize Latsis and the Young Experimental Physicist Prize.
