Physics analysis with the ATLAS experiment at the LHC (CERN)Collaboration with: NIKHEF, The University of Michigan, University of WuppertalDirect tests of lepton universalitySearch for new physics beyond the standard model in dilepton+X final states (heavy resonances, contact interactions, clockwork-like signals, lepton flavour violation)Upgrade of the ATLAS muon spectrometerCollaboration with: Multiple institutions (mostly from Canada, Chile, Russia, China and the USA)Construction and integration of the sTGC detectors in the New Small Wheel of ATLASLUXE experiment at DESYCollaboration with: DESY, Albert-Ludwig Universitaet Freiburg, Max-Planck Institute of Structure and Matter, Helmholtz-Zentrum Jena, Friedrich-Schiller Universitaet Jena, Queens University Belfast, University College London, University of Plymouth, Tel Aviv University, TechnionUnparalleled tests of strong-field QED in collisions between high-energy electron/photon beam and high-intensity laser pulses. The Schwinger limit is expected to be reached (at the collision centre of mass frame) for the first time in a clean environment.Development of solid-state detectors for tracking and calorimetryDesign, simulation and analysis of the entire experimental setupProbing novel beyond the standard model physics which may be enhanced in the presence of strong-fields, e.g. production of axion-like particles which are associated with solution to many of the outstanding problems in particle physics, and which can be furthermore linked to the origin of dark matter.
