Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLata Panwar is an experimental high-energy physicist and Assistant Professor with nine years of experience combining precision collider research and software development. Having worked at CERN since 2017 and contributed to CMS offline software—most notably migrating PoolDBOutputService elements for b‑tagging—she bridges detector-level analysis, database-driven software fixes, and physics interpretation. Her PhD and subsequent roles at IISc and LPNHE focused on Higgs and jet physics, including di-Higgs and Higgs self-coupling measurements and BSM resonance searches using CMS Run-2 data. She mentors students in simulation and event-generation tools (Geant4, MadGraph, Pythia) and brings hands-on expertise in HL-LHC projections and FCCee studies. Based in Jodhpur with a strong academic record (Gold Medalist at University of Rajasthan), she pairs rigorous analysis skills with practical code contributions to major HEP software stacks.
