Dr. Wasikul Islam

I am Dr. Wasikul Islam, a Research Scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA, and a Physicist at the CERN laboratory in Switzerland, where I work for the ATLAS Collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). I am currently based at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, Stanford University as a Visiting Research Affiliate.

As an experimental particle Physicist, I do my research to understand the world of Physics at the most fundamental level in terms of the particles, which are the building blocks of our universe. I conduct various searches for New Physics using the data collected by the ATLAS detector at CERN and I also do measurements of Physics processes, hardware studies, and algorithm developments for our ATLAS experiment. I do some phenomenological studies as well on my personal interests.

I have been an author of 600+ peer-reviewed research papers. Google Scholar profile can be found at the following link. My ORCID : 0000-0002-5624-5934. All the research papers can also be found at INSPIRE-HEP: http://inspirehep.net/author/profile/W.Islam.1 .
