Michalis Bachtis is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). He specializes in energy frontier particle physics and is actively involved in research related to the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). His work has significantly contributed to the discovery and characterization of the Higgs boson and the study of Z boson tau decays. Bachtis's research includes searching for heavy new resonances that decay into W, Z, and Higgs bosons in high-energy collisions at the LHC, with an emphasis on potential discoveries that could reveal new fundamental interactions and additional Higgs bosons. As part of his group's efforts for the upcoming Run III of the LHC, he is focusing on long-lived particles appearing in decays of the Higgs boson. His team has also upgraded the real-time event selection system and is harnessing advanced technologies, including FPGA-CPU hybrids, to enhance data collection and analysis in particle physics.
